Heavy Snow Forecast for England.

Biggles · 06 February 2007, 15:32

Mega Snowfall forecast for England on Wednesday night/Thursday morning. Time for the annual Lemmings drive.

Glad I'm not working that day. Watch all the cautious/bad drivers come out.

Its a really annoying time. You have a 4 X 4 but can't go anywhere because everybody else is clogging up the roads.

Might pop out later in the day for a bit of Cross Country Driving. Certainly the RIB isn't coming out to play this week.

No........

Not whilst my 4x4 is off the road!!

Just my luck of late.

Yes, but you do know that we will only get cold rain though don't you? - never believe the weather forecaster when they say that snow is on its way down here.... it rains heavy instead

It will near the coast but I will try to head for the Brecon Beacons - usually guaranteed a few blizzards!!!

I have been saying it for the past 4 weeks.

We have not got our winter yet, well it looks like it is on the way...

Bugger.

Guess who won't be going to work if it snows heavily...

codprawn · 07 February 2007, 02:08

Just had a call out - flipping freezing out there -10C or 14F in old money.

Tony · 07 February 2007, 06:41

Sheesh its 7 here and promises of sleety rubbish....>:O(

Alex Brown · 07 February 2007, 21:16

Just to be different, it's absolutely chucking it down with rain here right now, at 2 degrees C air temp, with a minus windchill

Got to love living right next to the Atlantic

Strange it's dry in Swansea - and for once they aren't westerlies!!!

jwalker · 07 February 2007, 21:47

A snow storm rolled in here from the east at sunset...

codprawn · 08 February 2007, 00:26

Hurray it's SNOWING it's SNOWING!!!

Biggles · 08 February 2007, 00:52

Not here yet.

Nos4r2 · 08 February 2007, 02:30

It is here. Here's my back garden.

Nothing in Pompey this morning, had to come to work instead, although Nasher will be busy with the spade this morning, they had 3"-4" when I drove past.

Yes great fun, but more like 2"
Kids had a great time, and I'm feeling very proud of myself too.
Because the Shogun is off the road we're stuck with the Pug 206 and our very steep drive and road, which some of you know is very steep with two right angle bends and we live right at the bottom.
Some of the neighbours had a go at getting out and failed badly.
I reversed the Pug to the back wall of the garage, put it in second and drove all the way to the top of the hill with lots of sliding about and excitement, but did get there, shaming various other vehicles including a Volvo XC90(?) or whatever its called.

Smug or what!

It's amazing what you can do with a bit of common sense isn't it.
