Decided I'm gonna WFH today.  Apart from the landrover down the end of the close, nobody has ventured out in cars down my road today...
Some have tried to get out today (and failed miserably), but Biggy didn't have a problem at all.

The snowline is up to the car sills. Obviously less clearance on my car. I suspect once I've got off the estate roads, things would be easier, though I'd put a pound that the council haven't gritted the roads down the hill, which could make things 'interesting' ;D
110mm of snow here, with 340mm of clearance to the sills - and judging by the roads it would appear that Rushmoor Council don't know what a gritter is.

Just about to go to Novatech to swap out a duff monitor, reckon I'll take a tow strap or two and see if I can make tonights drinking money for pulling people out of ditches who thought their electronic driving aids would save them  ;D

Think they still do rallying there.  Lot of planes there now, including my window cleaner's.

Tell me about it - just been out helping a multitude of unsuitable cars and unsuitable drivers.  At least the snow has stopped again.


Kids are building a bloody great igloo in the rugby field ;D

You should have been at Four Marks last night. Constant stream of 4x4s pulling cars up Soke Hill. It was total carnage.
