went over to Burghfield where it is all clear - only my local roads giving any hint of problem - Phaeton far more sure footed than Omega (it ought to be as it is permanent 4wd) - with the snow/ice we have on drive at home and access road  I would have been struggling in Omega.

Politely of course?

Yeah, it was actually . No benefit just going in aggressive...

Son's school in South Bucks - their web site has now been updated to say the school will be closed tomorrow.

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.

Managed to drive into town for the pub quiz... Even the A12 has a couple of inches on it now

Very little traffic about though so good fun

[albitz]

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

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

    What a 'Terbert'............

Oh dear....should have known....Mike's on the ball

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

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

Are these the Runway Enduro's LD?

No snow here overnight, the thaw continues.

Snow overnight here again , no sign of any traffic moving .. looking out in the garden the snow has topped everything up to about 6 inches . Supposed to be going shopping but cant see that happening  if it dont thaw soon we will be living off custard

Had a couple of inches here this morning,roads seem clear though,only the country lanes which are untreated.

[razzo]

Main roads are clear, side roads are fun, keep losing the mut in the garden

Yep... Not even dropped the pressures yet

[Lazydocker]

Should add, most of the main roads are ok... A little slippery in places but generally ok.

We've had about 7" now
