If it sounds like fun go for it....But go prepared.. you never know what you will have to pull out!!!! ( usually a landrover or sommet!! )

But seriousley we went out a 12 noon saturday with kid and dogs for a walk in the woods got caught in blizzards by 3:30 we were in the pub with 2 rescued people having pulled out a police landy with 5 other rescuees in it, and waited till 6:30pm til the rescued snow plough cleared the way down.

This it troll in car park after an hour. It is still iced up to day!!!

Take care

Now tell me just why do we have 4x4's

Is that an amber beacon on top with a lucky shot of it flashing or just a street lamp in the right place.

PS still waiting for more snow but we now have full warnings of it from Met Office

Street lamp!! Street lamp The nearest street lamp is about 5miles to the east and a dose of ear popping down!! Through 8 - 15 foot drifts that the ploughs didn't clear till sunday afternoon. That was ths Pub Sign in the background..!

This is a pic my wife took as we had just pulled the over enthusiastic copper out of the drift.. she turned the flash of so as not to annoy him.

I asked if he had a rope to pull him out with but he said no, This I thought a bit od but later found out that their patrol car could not get onto the moor top so they went to the local Landrover dealer and comandeered one. ( I'll have that one please!! ) and by ek he gave it some beans!!

Well done to the two bobby's who put them selves at risk for Joe public above and beyoned the call of duty!!!!!!

got up this morn to find school closed, busses off taxi's wont come out gritters not been round. we had 4 inch of snow since midnight and now the sky has packed in

we have one or 2 flakes and thats about it :-(

Kids are gutted.

Cheshire snow....snow....snow
Schools shut...I'm on ferry service taking my daughters to work and back.
Some kids have just built a snowman in the middle of the road[did look funny..but dangerous] I was going out to move but a vehicle did it for me, I bet it cracked something.

south yorks got about 4 inches and still throwing it down.

currently first buses in sheffield pulled out of service and
tram routes affected by stuck cars!

believe councils ploughing rather than gritting.

now trying to decide if try to drive to work or play the buses
off card...afterall excess is much higher than loss of days pay.

Last lot got us heavey in time for Crimble

Only a light dusting here. Just enough to look clean.

But loads of random ice rinks and more snow on the way

[dsgrnmcm]

apparently this is the 2nd time since 1981 that it has snowed in bideford!


And its just started again, but the MRS drove in to work (exeter) this morning about 0520 and said once she was out of bideford and down the M5 it was fine?

go on col thats what a 4x4 is for!
