Just watched the late news and weather.
Heard the North from Durham upwards, and the South East mentioned.
Snow coming over from Scandanavia and they have warned of snow drifts.
Monday to Wednesday was mentioned on the charts. It may of course come to nothing.
Just be prepared, make sure your tyres are in good nick and make sure you have plenty of fuel in the car just in case.
Local news has just covered the weather and just said blizzrds on high ground.
Make thier minds up.
Either way, allways better to be prepared. :y :y

modern people are always "prepared" to stop at home.
at least that is what unemploment figures say ::)

Worst snow I have ever seen (on the roads) was 1977 onwards as I was 16 and started work. Learnt to drive in some of it.
But must admit people havent got a clue what to do when it snows these days.
In the 80's I had a Viva 3 door, had 3 series BMW rims on the back with Colway remould M&S tyres on. Some of the best fun I have ever had. Used to go out in the early hours when the roads were empty just to play in it.

Hope it does snow, as i wont have to go to otterburn (our base in the middle of nowhere) and a) wash buses and b) meet the cpc man ;D

I would love an old chevette (maybe with a bit more grunt) slap some cibies on and and play, but we dont get the ammount of snow as we used to. Nice a fresh through the night, and then cleared and gritted for people to go to work in the morning.

On my wind-o-meter this morning, there are frequent gusts of 75 MPH with snow-flurries at a wind-chilled temp of -7C; if it 'really' snows, there`ll be terrible drifting......be careful everyone and keep safe/warm. :y
-
No snow in Sunderland yet.
Never mind the snow watch the A19 the law enforcement company must be short of funds again please all take care between A168 A19 junction up to Teesside as they are out playing with their toys.

Bit windy and cold here but nothing due to hit Swansea until Monday.

On way back from airport this morning at 4 ish --- nice and clear at ground level, cloudy skies -- but a wind that goes right through, rather than around, you !!!! Guy on local radio says snow flurries this afternoon down here. Sky looks right for it -- but I doubt it will come to much, if anything at all.

Getting loads of heavy flurries here... Started laying on the main roads too :o :o :o
My road, being private, has got about half an inch already and it's settled on top of last nights frost and ice... Very slippery!!! Trust me, just had a very low speed (under 5mph) slide at the end of the road :o :o :o
Mrs LD doesn't like driving in weather like this and we're forecast as much as 8" overnight, with drifting due to open land and high winds... Think I'll be getting a nudge in the morning to take her to work ::) ::)
