Title: So who's got snow?
Post by: Sunglasses Ron on January 18, 2013, 02:12:44 pm: I know most of you will be sick to the back teeth of seeing (let alone hearing the word) snow, but it would appear (as usual) that most of the country is going to come to a standstill this afternoon, so who has it worst?

I'm in Lincoln and we are just on the cusp at the minute (so about to get hit). What should we expect guys (from the ones who have already been affected)?

Any pics would be a bonus too..

Kind regards,

A worried BMW owner on summer tyres :scared: :signLOL:

Post by: stealthwolf on January 18, 2013, 03:30:31 pm: Working outside of Solihull was pretty bad. As I cleared the windows/lights/plates of any snow, I another half inch on top. Driving home was great with winter tyres until I hit the B-roads in and around Birmingham. Some proper nutters, gridlock etc. Took me three times as long to get home.

Had a pretty uneventful journey home from Nuneaton. A couple of people smashed at the side of the M42 though.

I only had a problem on the last mile to the house, so I whipped these out:

Really impressed with the traction I got with my Michelin Alpins. Had real confidence in the car accross every road I travelled! It's going to be expensive going forwards, I will want winters on every car I have!
Also thought this looked a bit cold...

Post by: dave on January 19, 2013, 10:11:32 am: Well I love the snow love driving in it too. Golf is surprisingly quite good in it! We have had a lot of snow here in Kelso some places it's drifted to over a foot high.
Here's a wee pic of the golf thinking it wants a bigger splitter haha

Having got some handmade German Meindl walking boots last October I would probably look at the Meindl range first but we don't get too much snow down here on the coast (thank goodness!) and so there's no point. My Meindl's are category recommended up to the tree line - I'm not interested in climbing any higher!

Post by: andrewparker on January 21, 2013, 02:38:29 pm: I actually passed a woman in a 1-Series this morning who had carved a porthole in her window - nothing more. Peripheral vision must be non-existent.

I must say, i really enjoy driving in this sort of weather, but the behaviour of other drivers is rather worrying.

Mine was like that this morning, David. Just managed to dig mine out (I was the only person to get out of my street today) and just got out the village. People in the street have been diging the whole street out all day so I just managed to get it back on the drive.

But all the snow off the roof has just literally just come down and buried the car :sick:

I saw muppets with headlights on but snow covering them. I saw cars similar to the audi with just the windscreen cleared. These people are dangerous in snow. God knows what they're like in normal driving conditions.

Yeah, I guess so. But enough is enough. My mortgage offer expires on may 20th and I don't want to have to reapply from scratch. So our house needs completing by then.

....Redditch! It's a long time since I have heard that place mentioned - Droitwich too. I went to Bromsgrove School but haven't been back to that neck of the woods for a long while.

Meanwhile, it rained all night but it's now bright blue sunny skies here today, Saturday, in coastal West Dorset :pomppomp:

Apparently Police in Bradford are issuing fixed penalties of £60 + 3 points for snow on the roof of your car.

Standard, never miss a trick do they....

Post by: JoeDarKa on January 26, 2013, 03:48:50 pm: Lots more snow in Bolton. My car is stuck as the estate is bad!

Had a very random night last night, walked to the local train station to give my brother some walking boots at 10pm-ish. Another guy got off (he was from london) and was meeting friends but was stranded at the station as no taxis were running. So me, my brother and my girlfriend walked him the 3miles to his friends house as he had no idea where he was and his phone battery died. We also helped push about 5 cars who were stuck! We got home at 1am :signLOL:
