Extreme snow and blizzards within next 2 weeks

[briggie]

local radio said to expect " heavy wintery showers " around 10 am .... wotever that means , i will be on my way back from bradford then ( hopefully )

Heavy wintery showers here at mo, which means bloody rain ffs

[Lazy-Ferret]

I have to take it all back, the weather forecasters were right... Snowmagedan struck here last night... I woke up at 4am, nothing, then at 7am I was wondering if we would be able to get out the front door.

It was blizzarding, so badly, visibility must have been down to 4 or 5 miles, and I thought I may need some major Snow shovelling just to get to the car.

Once there, I am pleased to report that the T2 started with out a hiccup, and drove the 3 miles to the train station and back with out so much as a slip from the wheels in 2 wheel drive the the way, despite my wife pleading the whole journey that it might just be safer to take a "Snow Day". I explained "Us Real" 4x4's had to show the rest, and get through, so we carried on regardless of all the Chelsea Tractors with their Yummy Mummy's scattered on the grass kerbs, hundreds of kids in tow.

It was touch or go on the train front, but after a company meeting, they decided this apparently this was the "Right type of Snow", and they would just run the trains... late... rather than cancelling them.

So just to show you how bad it was...

I know... It's just behind that massive snow drift...

Good luck putting the car back together... Might as well as long as it is not all off for the MOT, and enjoy it in it's true environment.

Coming down now here in mid-wales, sticking too which I am surprised by as the ground was very wet.

Going out for a play in a few mins.
