Might be because we live on a hill that we help each other out? Not helping is better than videoing I suppose.
It's snowing

Pretty lucky here as there's some pretty white stuff about but nowt on the road, I do live on the main road into my town off the motorway though so it's always kept clear by traffic/Gritters.
Not enough about for me to bother going out looking for earners though.

Had a 10 minute blast of snow, only gave 1cm or so (if that). Nothing happening right now but the sky isn't clearing like it usually does (had clear blue skies yesterday)
Enough to cause chaos yesterday.
The traffic was crawling and very bad with lots of accidents. My Dad was on the M25 and he said it took him three hours to do one junction!
The roads became slushier as the day went on, but obviously the snow is still around and it froze over night.
I wouldn't bother driving.

The only "help" they "should've" given her was convincing her to not bother even trying, but given she was dumb enough to pull the stunt she did, it's not likely she would've listened.

It's fine, all the main roads are clear. Plymouth barely gets any snow anyway.
There is no heavy snow out of my window, infact although there is loads of it laying on the ground from yesterday my car hasn't really had much more on it since yesterday.
still snowing...its already up to our waists... walking home from the pub last night in a blizzard i felt a bit like Dennis Quaid in The Day After Tomorrow...
the only thing that is comforting me is that everyone else will be getting this motherload after us

Morons in the house would rather sit and take a video than actually go out and help someone.

Whilst out for a walk yesterday, I saw a car that just went too fast on a roundabout, went straight through the mini roundabout and crashed off the road on the other side and down a ditch. It's now stuck in the ditch with its rear wheels in the air....
It was just madness to go driving in it at the moment.

why? its fine out...

Not on that particular road.
Yup, been out to the shop today for the sunday paper I walked and seen loads of cars heading to town, no doubt Christmas shopping, main roads are ok but still have slushy snow on it, side roads have like 2 inch of ice/snow nice and compacted

Anyone the link to the little program that blogs the snow?

I was due to fly back from Madrid to Humberside via Amsterdam on Friday but got to the airport where they refused to book people onto routes going through Amsterdam. After nearly three hours queueing and being told that they'd no idea when I'd be able to get back to Humberside - I elected to take a direct flight to Heathrow from where I could get a train to Hull.
In theory I'd land at 1800 and be able to get a train Friday night. As it was, that flight was delayed and I eventually booked myself into a hotel near Kings Cross at 2130.
To then wake up to the scenes at Heathrow and Gatwick yesterday morning, I class myself as very lucky!
(The direct train was then cancelled and I'd missed my work Xmas party on Friday night, but I'll have to cope with that...)

You're at opposite ends of the country, how on earth can you comment on the driving conditions where he is?
Not if you have half a brain it's not. Sadly far too many people dont have an ounce of common sense, as that video above clearly shows.
15 mile drive last night to go see "Shire Straits"
play at their opening gig, they've been practising for a year so thought I'd better go and support them on their first public night.Loads of 4x4's out this morning on my drive home.
I overtook most cars crawling along at 15 mph.
