last winter when the things go worse I waited more than 3 hrs to pass only 1 km :P
its not important you purchase brand new snow tires or not..One tw*t with slick tires can block up a whole road when skate..

at the very first day of snow if it starts midnight time I definitely use metro in the morning..but if snow catch me in job no chance..
because our hard working municipality is never ready at the first day..
but if prime ministers car starts to skate they start to clean the roads ;D ;D lazy tw*ts !
and you can also understand the meteorology is in deep sleep ;D ;D

I am in Rochdale at the moment - tried to get to a client meeting this morning, with the usual collection of consultants and their collection of mercs, in four inches of snow.
The roads weren't gritted at all, and the mercs slid around on the snow in a hilarious fashion, with their nervous drivers worried about denting their 40 grand cars... Me and the trusty 2 grand mig, in snow mode, climbed an icy slope out of the car park, picked up all the consultants when they abandoned their mercs, and transported them in heated leather seat comfort.
For about three hundred yards down the road, before we got stuck behind a tw%t who refused to admit that spinning the wheels in the middle of the road wasn't getting them anywhere.
We walked to the site in the end. (it was a mile away). Our meeting was called off because the client couldn't make it. ::)
I love this weather!

i hate the snow and the cold and the rain in winter :(

I had to laugh this morning when, on the way back from our cancelled meeting, I achieved the following client facing high powered business objectives with four of my colleagues, all of whom are 40+, two of whom are directors of a major multimillion pound construction firm (which shall remain nameless):
* built a very poorly designed snowman
* had a massive snowball fight in a public street
* pushed each other over in the snow
It was great. There's nothing like hitting someone in the face with a snowball when he's trying to email his team on his BlackBerry.
;D ;D

Not since the last arrest ;D
We took PaulW's Omega for its MOT this morning and I had to give him a lift, you should have seen him trying to squeeze into the MX5 ;D

Thought dogging was Daz' new hobby.
He 's always telling me he's been walking the dog. ;D ;D

About 3" or 4" in Bury this morning. Took me 2 hours to get to Wigan.
It seemed that all the rear wheel drivers were stuck on hills wheels spinning and the women drivers gripping the wheel in despair ....... they were all women ... honest! in their 3 series coupes & Mercedes and the small CLK's

AAAAAAWFUL weather this morning and why is it that although we knew about it, the gritters weren't out around here!! i've seen them out tonight though!

Bolton this morning. ......
it was still dark this morning when I got up ;) :y
Our street is still like that. :-? The snow in the road though has been compacted and is like sheet ice.

Several inches of fresh 'snowfall over ice' here today; Deb`s Miggy (wearing it`s snow-chains) even managed to pull a Sharan MPV out of where it had embedded itself (in a snow-bank) this morning....who `said Omega`s are no-good on snow? ;D

mighty, glorious miggy!! :y

Boring, absolutely nothing over in Belfast. Mind you the plane last Friday had to do a couple of touch 'n goes at Leeds cause of the mist.
Its interesting driving over here, there isn't the killer instinct. People actually stop at yellow box junctions and let people in. There's a lot of mercs, audi's, expensive cars, haven't seen many Miggy's.

I think the weather forecast for N.I (Norn-Iron) is more 'interesting' for Wednesday night/early Thursday, Ken!.....a "significant snow event" the Met.Office call it! ;)
Keep warm and drive safe! :y

Not seen any snow at all here in Suffolk :y :y
It'll probably snow heavily next Tuesday as we're off to France for the day. Last time I went at this time of year it was snowing in France as the Brother-in-Law and I were discussing wet weather rules for speeds... You didn'tneed the wipers so was it (in theory) dry weather speed limits? ;D ;D

Thanks Debs,
Over here in Contract land we have two main events, the "Atta Boy" when you get something right, and the "Oh SHit" when it all goes wrong. Sounds like the later to me on Wed !.
Will wear me Damarts on Wed ;D ;D ;D
