Sheffield has plenty so looks like fun tomorrow

(RIP) PLANK · 07-01-2011, 16:34

ours has been and gone, two hours of traffic brought to a near standstill, minor collisions and frayed tempers and then back to cold grey and drizzel

at least a good covering of snow brightens the place up a bit

Here it started at 6:45 this morning and snowed for 4 hours, and resulted in 3" , 75mm of snow, and it is mostly still there.

Lorries and buses blocked roads with even a slight slope on them.
A 10 minute journey took 40.

I had that happen to me once, i pulled out, made my own lane in the snow, Mr X5 joined me and almost crapped him self as he started to go sideways. then his indicator came on to get back in to the "Q".

Why the hell do you put 255/40/18 on ANYTHING! oh yes i forgot, to look COOL.
