It's snowing

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.

Dibs on your heart when you end up in a box! :p
 
Other peoples driving is the thing that scares me the most about weather like this. I know I can drive properly and safely in it, but it worries me that so many don't.

turns out there was hardly any traffic on the roads so the drive was good
as for the Cyst removal.. OUCH! :/ didnt think it'd hurt that much!

amateurs.. you have to CYCLE on it.. jeez
 
Very lightly snowing here again after probably a 5+ hour break. My dad managed to get back up the hill to our house in his Megane Scenic with budget Winter tyres and little drama. He's still the only person to even bother driving out of everyone who lives on this road apart from the 4x4 earlier.

Think I'll be getting a lift in my step-dads Land Rover tomorrow because the 306 is staying put in the warm garage :p

Prob already posted somewhere, can't be arsed checking.
 
Just swept probably a couple of inches of snow off my car in preparation for my early morning drive to work.

Didn't realise it was still snowing till I got out there. Tomorrow could be interesting/expensive. :D/:eek:
 
I've got to go down to Guildford from Stoke tomorrow... on the 7.50 train to euston and then out to Guildford. Says I should get in for 10:50... what's it like over the Guildford area?

There's a fair amount of snow, but it stopped sometime during the afternoon, so it's nothing too bad. Although saying that, it looks like it's just started again.
 
Still lightly snowing in stoke. Just headed out for 20mins and my face feels numb. Some of the drifts are at least a foot deep.

I saw a Hummer H2 pulled up at the side of the road on my way home, I laughed

I ended up going round a 4x4 in my corsa (stop laughing) because he was just going too fast up the hill, when he gave up and parked it on the kerb I carried on up the hill gently :D

Cheers.

Trains from Stoke seem to be delayed running to Euston, but trains out of Waterloo seem to be fine to Guildford and then it's walking distance.

Think I'll go for it :)
