Snow eh!  Not expecting it here till friday.

I have been up all night but not looked out of the windows at all, but it does feel cold.

Might have a look in a while.

A view from my car this morning

(http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b394/Marks_DTM_Calib/DSC00141.jpg)

Thats the main A46......

Saw justice today, a BMW driver (e.g. Tosser) decided to travel past in the outer lane in the photo.....after about 100m he spun it and smacked the crash barrier.

Because it was a slow spin you could see the look on his face and the slow motion ripple of creases in the body work, bits of plastic flying off and the wing mirror bouncing into the opposite carriageway!

It's a nice feeling, isn't it? I had it a couple of years ago on the A31 Bentley bypass. Noticed a sheen on the tarmac (porous asphalt on this section!). Black ice. BMW overtook me at about 80 (I was coasting down from about 50. Only way to reduce speed in the cuircumstances).

Rounded the next bend to see him playing pinball. His 3 series was the ball, and the armco either side of the road were the flippers. ;D

I stopped out of concern for his safety and pretty much got told to break off so sniggered and left him to it. Typical BMW customer then.  :P
