i thought about some but realistically we only need them to drive the 200yds to the main road (A23) once you're on that everything is fine. We just park on there when its bad like this and its saves a headache. In the summer i'll probably buy at least one set of winter tyres for the car which should help considerably next year.

It's a fair point - I have little choice some of the roads I hit. It can be annoying putting them on and off, but has saved me on a number of occasions!

Still not settling properly here just outside of Hinckley To be fair though, it's not exactly coming down that heavy.

It's been falling consistently all day in Leics but it's very very light. The sun has disappeared and the sky has gone completely white so there's hope

for **** sake, I ordered some snow chains on Monday (well, snow shoes) in anticipation. Paid extra for next day delivery, then they didnt send them out monday, and the courier have said they couldnt do anything when they sent them yesterday. Brilliant the shoes that I need in manchester are stuck in a courier's depot in Kent.

Had at least a foot of the stuff at the moment. With another cloud passing over us at present.

Well it's not snowed for 24 hours now but god it's cold. Down to -13.7 last night and it's only -11 now. Another hour and it will start getting colder again.

I really want to shift some old stuff via the bay, but I'm not listing until this snow has subsided as I just know someone will complain about late delivery.

Once shipped with a tracking number, not your issue...

Wouldn't worry about it.

Well I measured the snow here and it's exactly 1ft deep! Not bad really.

Why does the BBC say "light snow" for this afternoon and evening in my area, yet the MET office says "Heavy snow"? :confused:

Both websites are crap at telling the weather, i've given up with idiots getting paid to predict the weather when they can't.

LOL!!!

It's becoming "My snow is DEEPER than YOUR snow" competition.

We had decent snowfall, but it moved on pretty quickly, and now the sun's melted what's been dropped. What do I need to do get some decent snow Goddamnit!? :mad:

;_;

Oh, and STOP COCKBLOCKING SUN! :mad:

There's a kid and his dad bombing up and down the street on a quad bike in the snow.... WANT!!!

Just took the tape measure out, the latest downpoor that took sky out for a little while has brought it up to at least 15 inches tall.
