I love snow too, but do always feel sorry for people like Nick has just said, who have to drive in it. Can be quite treacherous.
I have to go out, but only to take the missus to town and back.
Always take it carefully when the weather is like this, but no doubt there will still be people driving just as normal and also without lights on too.

Are you white van man?Wouldn't mind if it was in the car, but it's a shite van with loads of weight in the back. So it's going to potentially take 3-4 hours
If so, tell me when you are out and about and where and I will make sure I walk.

Is that the end of Grendel's drive and you took the picture with a very long telephoto lens camera from the other end of his drive, 1,500 metres away?

At least you can test out having a 4x4
I wish it's a two wheel drive and as I found out this morning no fun in the snow

Do Wasps play today? Would love to see their game buggered up.

Told my mum and dad to stay in and not venture out at all.
They say they have no food at all in the house, but I assured them I will be round on Tuesday to sort them out.

Think they have them on standby just for Wasps emergencies, you know, for the pop up open toe sandal shop and clearing the way for the Pimms truck.

Hopefully they will clear it for later.
This morning there were lorries and cars sliding sideways all down the motorway so they hadn't been out then.
This as well

If it was in front of the gritted teethers every fan who went up yesterday to Morecambe would have one.

In our garden I would say about 4-5 inches.
That’s what I was thinking possibly six
Think they said Max of 8 at lower levels
Supposed to fizzle out midday.

What's funny is, where my friend lives in New York they routinely get two feet of snow and have no trouble coping!

It's ok at a push for today, don't gave to work in the end. Tomorrow is going to be a massive pain with schools etc.
Wife is doing a 14 hour shift and will have to drive home after, not looking forward to that for her

They will have people out clearing the roads and everything though won't they?
I'd have no issues going out if I could physically get out of the street with a guarantee or not smashing into a parked car because of the deep snow
What time does she finish NickIt's ok at a push for today, don't gave to work in the end. Tomorrow is going to be a massive pain with schools etc.

Might just be a bit easier by 4 ish
Thing is No matter how confident we all are, it's gauranteed someone or Something will end up blocking everything up, like I've just heard junction 6north M6.
