Is the snow coming this time?

[don simon]

Reasonable dusting here and it's just started again, the main dumping is due on Thursday. All very inconvenient as I'm heading up to Preston today and down to Stoke tomorrow, Stoke has had a bit of a battering, I think.

2" to 3" here on the high ground, expected to snow till lunch time then the sun should come out to play, more snow tonight so may be deep enough by morning for trip out :lol

We had a good smattering, I let the ferrets out in the garden today... Didn't get that much video as it was just so much fun watching them, but did manage to get Topic pretending to be a snow plough

Got a call out this morning, Kent police were having problems getting their dispatchers in, so I was sent off to pick up a lady from the middle of nowhere... Felt really bad when I got there, and she was still in her PJ's, she thought she was getting a snow day, not a 4x4 taxi... :lol

Love the ferrets, they had a great time, like my two jacks, first time they have seen snow, great that you are doing 4x4 response, lady thought she was getting a day off till you showed, :clap:clap, Rick

Looks like we are really getting a little snow in our area, wife text to say it was -4 and her windscreen kept freezing back up. A friend has just phoned and he says traffic is at a stand still. I bet people in other countries that get proper snow laugh at us.

Typical. in Lincoln this week. Truck off the road waiting for a new rad to be delivered and the most snow we've had in many years :doh

No more proper snow in Sevenoaks today, been lots in other parts of Kent.

Spent the morning taking Nurses to work, then came back home via the back roads, where we found an AO.com truck stuck on a hill in the middle of nowhere.

He had lost grip climbing the hill, then as he slid back, twisted on the narrow lane, so the front corner was in one bank, and the rear in the other. They had got it out of that, but then trying to reverse back down the narrow lane, ended up with the nearside totally embedded in the bank

The problem was the fresh snow was on top of a layer of pure clear ice, and as soon as you broke through the snow, there was no grip. Luckily, I carry a 5litre plastic container of salt/grit, so we chipped away a path in the ice, and laid a track of grit for both my car, and his front wheels (he was front wheel drive), then set to pulling him up the hill about 1/2 a mile, back onto a gritted road. Mine slipped a couple of times, but I just kept my feet away from the loud peddle, left her on tickover, and she just re gripped straight away.

The driver of the van was very impressed, and happy...

I really do enjoy the commute when it's like this!

Made a quick video with some real 'Copyrighted' music... A first for my channel!

I bet he was:thumb2

Thats how I do the hard stuff when off roading, 1st or 2nd low on tickover, it's surprising how steep it will climb, over really rough stuff too!
