It's snowing

I got to try and get my bloody windscreen wipers to work,the arms have seized right up.

And I keep saying this every year, I need to try and make some home made ski's :p or a snowboard or some sort but every time its snows im either working from home and cant leave, or its dark. :(

What can I make a snowboard out of?
 
Setting off from Brugge back to Calais, then from Maidstone to Milton Keynes, then back to Oxford. It's going to be a right adventure as I don't hit british soil in the car till 11.30pm ish.

I managed to beat all the snow at 3am this morning, it's been a long day...
 
2 years ago was better, we did this with my housemates:

I remember when I went to Bruges a few years ago. The year when a Eurostar train got stuck in the tunnel because of the snow. I was left stranded in Bruges so decided to take the long way back home. Bus to Bruges train station > train to Brussels > train to Calais > 2-3hr queue at Calais, outside in the cold > ferry to Dover > walk to Dover Priory train station whilst lugging my suitcase > train to London Victoria > taxi to London Waterloo > train to Woking > car journey back to Farnborough.

Set off at 8am, got home at 2am. Longest day of my life :D
 
Congrats to our local council. Our area is pretty well gritted, and it is working.

Was over in Brighton & Hove this morning and even the main bus routes were starting to get a little mushy & icy.

Not much is settling here though, think there may have been rain earlier when I was at work, and it is only settling on certain surfaces now.

C'mon snow! If you increase your rate, I can get drunk tomorrow!.
 
It's been snowing here all day at varying intensities. I think it was heaviest between 11:00 and 13:00, but there was another quick bout of heavy snow at 16:something. On my way home from work (I walked), it seemed like it was going to stop, but looking outside just now I can see that it's still going.

Suffice to say the snow is quite deep here.
 
All the bosses have RWD so we all go to go home early :D

Motorway was fine at 3 ish, was bombing down at 80 past all the losers going 50, tbf I think an hour more and it would have started to get dangerous but at the time it was just like rain and that doesn't stop anyone going fast. Off the motorway was a little worse though although I still had to overtake people going rediculously slow i.e. <20 on straights.

Want to know if it's icy? Just drop it down a gear and put your foot to the floor, if your wheel spin up it's icy if not then you're fine. If nobody is behind you I find slamming on the breaks gives you a pretty good idea how grippy it is.
