A good 4" here now.

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.

sods law headlight bulb blew his morning, so got to change that tonight. Driving to Austria tomorrow. Bring it on!  :D  8)
Yes it's nice to be prepared isn't it. :y

M4 eastbound closed near Bristol according to the news.

About an inch settled here now. Falling heavier.

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.
Full tank of gas, full tank of petrol, that'll give it some weight.

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:




Looking down the valley






Only quad-bikes can negotiate this!






Rear access is somewhat impassable!






Our hoond loves the stuff!






Looking north






Seth's Tractor Centre's closed for business!
