Snow Watch

Yer Blue went all puppy like, not bad for 13 years

Well what an evening, the snow is at least 7" thick and starting to freeze and we have more forecast

Andysd1 came back and we went out and only got half a mile, we recovered at least 24 cars, wagons and taxis even police cars, was a good laugh but 3 hours of hard work :lol:

It was amazing how many people where ragging the nut off the cars in 1st gear, as soon as we said feather the throttle in second and shouted instructions as when to give gas or back off they didnt need a tow.
I freaked two girls out who where stuck by telling them I could push the car out with one finger on the mirror if she listened to me, so gave her instructions she did as I said with the clutch (dirty minds :wink:

) and I walked along side the car with one finger on the mirror and she was no longer stuck :lol:

they no idea how to drive in bad weather up here lol.

This is Andy turning on a penny to go get the Police car, the bobby was laughing his nuts off, but he wasnt laughing after he realised his BMW didnt have a towing eye :lol:

he had everything in the car for every eventuality, BUT being towed :lol:

twas good fun, want to go again

Andy £20 to Liverpool and back tomorrow night so we can get to the John Bishop gig

I was a blast tonight, thanks for getting me out

And its snowing again :shock:

Well, the plan was to get in ton for about 16.00 have a scran then a few beers and get to the arena at 18.30, then a bevy and home for the last train.

No probs mate, thanks for the thought

Off to the pit, great laugh tonight

Hi Foggers!Long time, no see!

Snow depth 16cm, temperature -18c at the moment. Last week it was -25c almost every day. Cool! :dance:

The Met office have issued a severe weather warning for heavy snow, and everyone forecasting heavy snow!

If anyone in the Southampton / Waterlooville area reads this, please can you let me know what its like down that way, as I have to drive down there tonight. Thanks

no still no snow,,,only rain today,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, :butt:

snowing here again

Only got a couple of inches, but there are no gritters which is the first time there haven't been any on the 4 years I've lived here.

Going up the mountain later to see what it's like up there

over a 18", prob more, the snow comes halfway up Harveys body, for those that know him!!!

Wow CC

Well my brother called, he was stuck in Liverpool last night and had to stay in a hotel, so he is getting the train to Kirkby then I am picking him up and taking him to Chorley via the back roads as the M6 is gridlocked.

His Mrs was supposed to pick him up but she has abandoned his car somewhere and she is not sure where :lol:

and its a brand new Saab :lol:

Told all the street I would do Asda runs for £15 a trip :rotfl:

Though Lee and me have cleaned most of their paths and built a huge snow man in the close

We've finally had a reasonable sprinkling of snow here in the West Midlands, despite previous "warnings" being a little optormistic.

Went to work this morning; there was almost an inch of snow to be cleared from the car at 08:30, with the roads (both reseidential and main) being a pair of tarmac lines in the white stuff.

11:00 there was an additional 2" of snow on the car to clear and the roads were white over

Probably around 3 to 4 inches of lying snow.

It's easing off a little now, but was good fun whilst I had to be out in it

Cheeky Chick bet Harvey's feet are cold if its half way up his body :wink:

Well Done Ste and Andy doing their rescue bit well done both of you!

Ste You don't fancy running a course next year on how to drive in the snow & ice do ya :wink:

if you do May I be the first to put my name down for that, as I don't have a clue :roll:

And the poor woman who abandoned her Car and doesn't know where she left it.... I can quite understand that :rotfl:

My son rang me last night and told me he was stuck in town and no buses running, and wanted me to pick him up!... Said sorry you will have to walk I am not risking Gracie out in this weather there is ice and snow outside the house .. He did remind me that she is a 4x4 :roll:

, Said '' don't care ..Walk home.. you were advised not to go into town, but didn't listen'' :lol:

Well was only 6 mile walk home for him lol ...Sure the fresh air did him good :wink:

Wish I could download photos onto my laptop :-(

Take care all and be safe :-D

Cheers
