Side shot would be too obvious. Here's one of the front (which is still obvious!):

Definitely a new mini, too obvious from that shot!

They should stick ploughs on the front of buses, all of them have snow chains here at the moment so may as well kill two birds with one stone!

They'd need public liability insurance to plough the roads.

Farmers around here can't simply clear the roads with their tractors for the same reason, it's stupid.

Aye, it is stupid.

wow lots up on the hill then, its no where near that deep down in Coulsdon town, maybe 8-9 inches but the roads are clear.

my in laws live up on the mount on the other side of coulsdon so i dread to think how bad it is up there if you have 16 inches.

Yeah the little bit of height seems to make a big difference here, walking over the golf course and the snow was above the knees, and i am 5'10 so not a midget

It's quite deceiving with that massive hat it's wearing

This was my brother and myself driving up to my parents place in Derbyshire;

We were bashing through drifts over the bonnet at one stage

Might go back out tonight and get a few more photos, appologies for the phone-camera quality though!

I read that in the Off Roaders voice from the Fast Show.

Sp00n · 2 Dec 2010 at 11:41

Man, this has to be the one time of the year when I want a 4x4

LETS OFF ROOAAD!

We've had continuous snow here all morning in Derby, albeit a little light, but it still adds to the 4 - 5 inches on the floor already here!

RJC · 2 Dec 2010 at 11:51

rypt · 2 Dec 2010 at 11:52

Where in Derby are you?

I'm over by Elvaston Castle, not a massive amount here but am about to venture into town to get some lunch and some wiper blades for my Discovery.

Temp just outside the window in my office is 2.4 C :/

I haven't received any post in days, and we only have 2 CM of snow here :confused:

PiKe · 2 Dec 2010 at 11:54

My boss has gone to Derby, Bakewell to be precise, to get some photographs...

Its crazy how much difference height makes. our place just off Star Lane is about 7-9" under but Star Lane is clear as is the main road. Grandad in Law is up on Lacey Drive in old Coulsdon so hope he's ok.
