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. ::)

Just heard that someone was killed on the A12 at Kelvedon at around 7.30 last night.The same stretch where I was dismayed by some of the driving half an hour earlier. Obviously dont know the circumstances of the accident,but it didnt come as a great surprise after what I had seen. :(

Not a surprise... One of my guys came back through there only a fraction before that time :o :o He said the driving was poor yesterday and what I saw when I was out was quite atrocious at times :o

We had between 4 and 6" yesterday quite easily, all that very fine snow ;)

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 :y

On the plus side, the new tyres are coping well considering I haven't even dropped the pressures yet :y Have had some interesting handling moments but only really because I've been provoking it... No traffic+slippery roads=Playtime! ::) ;D
One of my colleagues in Ipswich said there was around 4-5" - more than he thought his Boxster could handle, so he stayed at home.  An excuse not to come in really ;D

Quite possible... You've been to mine and know how remote it is in respect to Ipswich... Some of what fell as snow on us could easily have been sleet/rain in a slightly warmer area ;)

As for not taking the Boxster out... Probably a good thing really :-X :-X

Maybe, but what a hoot it would be. Up until the ambulance is called, anyway.

Ah, that brought back happy memories. A gorgeous paramedic, and 3 days off work :D

Snowing properly again for the last few hours and another inch or more on the cars/roads ::) Judging by the speed the last car went past on the main Heath road it has settled on there again too >:( Guess I'm duty driver again in the morning ::)
