I thought it was going to snow this morning, but it didnt. Then again at lunch time, but no. A few flakes this afternoon. 'Here it comes' I thought. No, it stopped straight away. I will peek through the blinds periodically and let you know if it actually happens. I just know that you have fick all else to worry about.

A very light snowfall on the bucks/beds border this morning, about a third of an inch in old money.  Roads were clear once I escaped the village and as usual the go lightly brigade were out in force driving very very slowly on perfectly clear roads :)

Chris , Omega is better with winter tyres but whatever you use its a rwd .. and it has its disadvantages..
 
an lsd will be very useful in case you are stuck and a relatively cheap kumho KW19 (very noisy) will be my recommendation..
 
I solved the problem with a fwd shopping trolley..
 
ps: when you are stuck traction control creates extra problem so it must be off..

Nope. No snow here. Nice blue skies, so a light frost each night and daytime temps of 9 to 13 Deg C.

I don't recommend Ovation tyres as fitted to my bus. Slightest bit of damp/ice and they have less traction than a bungy jumper.

Light dusting this morning that had only settled on cars/street furniture/plants but not on anything made of tarmac at ground level and still the regular 45 minute commute became an hour and a half.. *mutters*

Snowed on and off here in Chertsey but it's so wet that everything has melted and nothing stuck, which is good.

Sun is out here. Has been raining, so no snow left.

This is bad for two reasons:

1. I don't have Conti SC3s fitted to my car.
2. I don't have a powerful(ish) RWD car with LSD and easily switchoffandonable traction control just to splash through puddles.

Lovely sunshine for the latter part of afternoon, not a cloud in the sky.

I guess the snow will freeze tonight.

I can't test SC5s tomorrow, as she needs the car, and didn't fancy the Elite ;D

Assuming she can get enough traction from the SC5's to get out of your road ::)

I thought we were going to escape it as it was snowing lightly when I walked the dog between 2 and 3 and then turned to rain as I was driving back from Colchester about half 4 or so. Snowing very heavily here for the last 45 mins or so and settling quickly :o

cleaning the snow early is a good idea.. if compacted by car, you will have a #1 quality ice rink..

So glad I got winter tyres, was thinking it was just for legal reasons in Austria, as 99% motorway would I need them?

Think I will, extremely impressed with them in snow/slush so far. I've got quite a few boxes of huge bathroom tiles, thinking of chucking that in the boot for some extra weight. Won't take up too much space, just line the boot with them, help traction.

Leaving at 4am, so hopefully should be little traffic if any about.

Traction doesn't really seem to be a problem with snow tyres on .. I tested it this morning on some untreated roads  ;D

Although ice can still get a little hairy (as I found out a couple of nights ago on some different untreated roads) - manageable, but hairy when a big patch creeps up on you in the dark.

Clearly the kids have been sent home, as they are all in my road, compacting the snow down. That'll be fun later, when it freezes.

Surprised you're not out there throwing snowballs ::)

VALLEYS UPDATE:

Heavy snow overnight as forecast, though luckily it began just after I got home at around 0100 this morning.
All mountain passes were closed from 2200 yesterday .... and it's still snowing!

M4 and main road through our valley closed, and no buses or trains .... and I cannut get to work 8)
Oh .... and surprise surprise .... not a snow-plough of gritting lorry in sight.


Still, Mrs Seth's got a big pan of beef stew simmering away nicely for our evening meal! :y




A few pictures of the current situation here:

watching the car park, its amazing how many people just climb in and drive off, without bothering to clear any snow off windows.

Just saw lady in an M3, get in do nothing, start to reverse, realised snow covered rear window. Got out, looked, then got back in.

FFS spend 20 seconds just wiping snow off!

Response to the snow has been pitiful here. Plenty of warning yet roads pretty much untreated. Still, got Mrs. KW to work and on to the office only to be told the building was closing at 12, so a couple of hours' work then back again. :D

I think the authorities now work on the basis that if they tell everyone to stay at home, and make essential journeys only, nobody can complain about the lack of gritters and snowploughs and private business will just have to stomach the cost of lost productivity. ::)

This is the snow ploughs (at about 1 minute 20 in) that British Rail used to keep the tracks open, and in the severe winter of 1963, when men with shovels did their bit as well!  Those were the days :D :D ;)

But steam made all the difference, and in fact during that winter numerous steam locomotives were brought back from the scrap lines to pull the trains as the diesels failed all too often!! ::) ::) ::) ;)

He doesn't sound like he's in much comfort, and I'll bet my left gonad that he'll feel worse in the morning. But he'll live.

Ironically, the reason he had to use the bike (his missus normally takes him to work) was because of a doctors appt...  ...which was cancelled because the useless NHS are lazy morons due to snow.

bins not emptied - however postman appeared in area - but no post for me for once. The guy deserves a medal.

wise decision to remain at home  as my South West Trains alert has been  telling me that all trains from Waterloo to Farnborough hit by signalling issues.

danger of having time on my hands though is that I almost bought a VW Golf 1.6 TDI DSG for SWMBO - tempting offer but in view of weather decided to put it on ice ::)

Heads should roll down there as happened up here in Scotland in 2010 our transport minister was ejected and our new one (Keith Brown) hasn't pissed about either all last week gritters were out on all major routes all councils have access to thousands of tons of salt no expense spared even my council went out and bought 12 4x4's, four of which have plough attachments and salt spreaders on the back. also they bought four 4x4 gritters which brings our gritters to 10 aslo 6 bobcats (not been used yet) and any hgv driver in the council that wanted to got trained on all gritters.

The sort of speed that they had no chance of stopping and run a serious risk of spinning out. We have a 4x4 in the family that is fully equipped for Norway trips (mud & snow tyres with stud compatibility) but I still wouldn't push it to risk other people's lives.  :)

Left work about lunchtime and the roads were basically clear - little bit of slush, bit slippy but fine with winter tyres on. Got 500 yards away from work and someone in a Discovery very nearly rear ended me; presumably they equate 4x4 to "invincible" and free from the laws of physics, despite it's low profile super wide summer tyres...

Drove to Amy's, took her home when her folks finally relented and let her leave early and had a nice drive home in great conditions (I thought!) and then ended up stopping to help a middle aged mother out of a ditch on a series of bends where she'd lost it, not to mention the bloke who ended up joining her (he was heading in the opposite direction originally!) while trying to avoid collecting her pirouetting Citroen. While we were doing that a couple more morons almost joined them in the ditch through going far too fast, only to speed off at precisely the same rate of leptons after collecting their cars (and underwear), ffs. There's no teaching some people!

The invincible 4x4's are flying down the outside lane in the snow.  ::) ::) Thankfully these vehicles are fitted with super duper tyres that can stop instantly on snow and ice. After all, we all know that four tyres sliding is much safer than two tyres sliding.  ::) ::)

Near Enfield Town, North London, about 7pm this evening (taken on way home from pub to cook dinner    :y )

Not too bad, but suspect that overnight that road will become an icerink

Dog is hilarious in the snow... I keep giving her snowballs to play with which fall apart and she searches for them ;D ;D Or throw snowballs at her ::) But it's the white trace on her nose when it's time to come in... Looks like she's been doing lines :-X ;D ;D

Cut round the side wall on both sides with a stanley knife then using a big grinder or sthil saw cut through the bead and tyre bead at the same time then off to scrappies with the alloy wheel. theres no wire in the side wall and if you try and cut the tyre across the tread you will go through cutting disco like no tomorrow :y

A bit too old for that Cem. I have learnt my lesson....I went on the grandsons scooter three weeks ago, tried going over a ramp, and ended up on the deck. Still got up, brushed off, and started again but another fall done me up.....taken the last three weeks to get over it. So sports are out. I normally go out and snowball fight with the kids of the road, but thats out this year :(

We went out for a walk with the hound... Drove to the normal car park on clear roads and just had the slippery car park to contend with, which was no problem :y

Walked for about 50 mins and came back to a covered car (again!) and a reasonably attractive young lady in stelleto boots and a dressing gown :o :o She was off to to a nude photo shoot in the snowy woods :o Unfortunately SWMBO said we weren't allowed to extend the walk and go around again :-X ::)

Drove home on an inch or so of snow on treated surfaces :o Snowed non stop since too... A few inches + this afternoon and a couple of inches on the (treated) roads ;)

Going out for the pub quiz tonight too... I'm driving :y

Been snow here constantly since 7am and the local roads have now turned icy. Went out to pick up the the family this evening and I almost crapped myself 5 mins into the journey when the car in front stopped at a zebra crossing, catching me slightly unaware. The rest of the journey was ok.

I had a little giggle while watching an Audi navigate a speed hump covered in ice. It slid all over the place, hitting both kerbs and  eventually making it over sideways. I changed my mind and did a u turn instead.

Some people were driving far too fast for the conditions though (or maybe I was driving too slow?) and some pedestrians don't make it easy for drivers either, stepping onto the roads as you're approaching them.

The drive home from work took 45 minutes rather than the usual 35.More traffic than I thought there would be,and the usual sprinkling of idiots.Some on the A12 were stil doing around 70 with no bigger a gap between than you would leave in dry conditions. ::)

Not so sure about that Cem....IIIIts snowing harder now , we already had 5" of the stuff, and its as deep again !!!! :(

in any case you make sports :) :y

A bit too old for that Cem. I have learnt my lesson....I went on the grandsons scooter three weeks ago, tried going over a ramp, and ended up on the deck. Still got up, brushed off, and started again but another fall done me up.....taken the last three weeks to get over it. So sports are out. I normally go out and snowball fight with the kids of the road, but thats out this year :(

Just had a peek outside before going to sleep and there's over an inch laid on her car (not warm, just cleared a section on it) since we got home at 11ish and it's still falling steadily. Laid on my car again too ::)

Looks like I'm duty taxi in the morning, assuming we can get out ;)

Had several inches today and it's forecast to fall all night and most of tomorrow so things could get interesting :y

On the plus side, the new tyres are coping well considering I haven't even dropped the pressures yet :y Have had some interesting handling moments but only really because I've been provoking it... No traffic+slippery roads=Playtime! ::) ;D

Just heard that someone was killed on the A12 at Kelvedon at around 7.30 last night.The same stretch where I was dismayed by some of the driving half an hour earlier. Obviously dont know the circumstances of the accident,but it didnt come as a great surprise after what I had seen. :(

Quite possible... You've been to mine and know how remote it is in respect to Ipswich... Some of what fell as snow on us could easily have been sleet/rain in a slightly warmer area ;)

Torrential rain, thunder, lightning then hail, sleet & finally snow overnight here in Cornwall.  :o

It didn't shift the old snow and everything is now covered in 1/2" of ice. A38 closed due to pirouetting cars bumping into each other.

I stepped out of the front door intending to attempt the journey to work but decided it wasn't safe to walk to the car so back inside now with a coffee :y

Great to here our TD in full cry, climbing high out of the Ogmore Valley north of Bridgend, then another blast up out of the Ely valley before the 1 in 5 descent into the Rhondda at Porth.

Couldn't/can't help thinking that it would make a fantastic OOF Road Run.

Sounds like heavy rain on the window. I would imagine that will help melt the snow and ice left on the roads around here.

Snowing here heavy  >:(

 ::)  would you like some hot weather ;D :y

Show off  ::) ;D ;D

Nothing here yet other than a couple of very light flurries earlier today but it forecast for another hour or 2. We're expecting a fair dumping though ::)

Thanks. I am reluctant to text him as I assume he is either in bed or in Manchester, he has his head screwed on so I assume he has 'a plan'............ :) :)

The rain has washed a load of our snow away. I can now see patches of grass for the first time in 2 weeks. Road is still covered in compacted snow/ice, but a few bits of tarmac are starting to show.

My missus has just set off for home from Sheffield, says she may be some time as traffic is at a standstill. It's stopped here in Wakefield and is turning to slush.

We've had a good coating here today. Saw a cock in an Insignia going to fast on the A483 just outside wrexham today, he must have run onto the 6ft wide standing snow between the outside lane and the central reservation, next thing you know he's veered into the barrier and then he's spinning down the road and into the side of a wagon. He wasn't very happy when I called him a gentlemans sausage  ::)

It's been slinging it down heavily here for the last hour after being on-off all day. Horrible thick, wet stuff that lays and turns slushy underfoot, gawd help us if it freezes overnight ::) ;D

Loads this afternoon, looked OK at work but as I got closer to home there was a lot more. I took a turn onto a country lane, to take a detour to a shop; I got quite a shock the wind was up an blowing off the large open fields, total white out and drifting quickly some a few inches deep of fresh snow - no problem for the Jeep though........... :D :D :D
