about 3 or 4 inches here, thought the plan was it was going to hit up North not down here.

Next door was saying would be nice to get some snow again, he's just spent most of the morning getting rid of it from he's pathway, some people.  ::)

Being retired means I can enjoy the snow without thinking about long, nightmare journeys to and from work - unless I have to go to the hospital or my GP's!

I wouldn’t fret too much, Ron, today’s 4 hour dump will probably be our ration for the year.

That is a long time to spend in the toilet.

About 4" here, and been falling all day. I think its thawing at the same rate its falling TBH.

When it stops, need to get out an clear drive and road, as she leaves for work at daft o'clock in the morning. Me, I think I'll not bother going in tomorrow, as I'm lucky enough I can do virtually all my job from the bath.
Don't forget to fit Mrs TBs winter tyres whilst you're out... :D

No curry tonight though :'(

That's just reminded me about the set of winters I have for the M140i down the cellar. Not a bad time to get them sold I reckon. I'm sure there'll be a few 1 series owners stuck on their drives this weekend  :y

When I got home from work at 7.30am its was hammering down with slightly sleety rain.
Got up at at 1pm and there was a good 2 inches of snow on the ground which was a bit of a shock.

Still light snow here and it's not thawing. In fact it's started to freeze. Can't get either car out of the drive and the roads are still solid snow anyway so not going anywhere. There are crashed cars scattering the hedges and ditches and local news reported jackknifed lorries on the bypass. Might have a lay-in tomorrow.   :)

Nearest roundabout to my house has 3 abandoned cars within 100yrds, 2 are fwd shitboxes so no excuse really, no idea what the Yeti is.

no idea what the Yeti is.

Either fwd or 4wd, either way no excuse. Ours (1.2 fwd dsg) is very capable in both the sh!tty slush and the few inches of actual snow we’ve had. The short wheelbase does mean it’ll turn on a dime with the handbrake applied though. SWMBO was not at all impressed  :P

Just because the "yummy mummies" have FWD doesn,t mean they have a clue how to use ,em, as long as they manage the pavement outside the local Tesco of course :D. Spoken by a man who has never driven a FWD. ::)
