I am one of only a handfull that made the effort, the roads were bad but not that bad however my car will need to be pulled out the car park as the compacted snow under the car has lifetd the wheels slightly

i only couldn't go because they cancelled all the busses :)

I got to work this morning. I drove 25 miles on snowy back roads in a sportpack mini

i cant get my car off the drive, my dads is sideways on the drive from where he tried going to work lol. well done the people who made it to work :) i had a day off lol

I just got back to Toy Town. The roads are fine until you get into South Yorkshire and off the motorways. about 3 inches of snow at the moment.

Our lass has been asked to spend the night at work (Sheffield Kidies Hosipital...) in case she can't get in tomorrow. Can I drive her some stuff into Sheffield?? No!

Just about made it in the Shitron. Got sideways on the back road between hook and Lydiad Park!! Got to work and only half the car park was full!! Whats the point!!??

feature=mhum

Wtf, it hasnt snowed here for 2 days!! Sucks!! :(

its a good 20 inches up here on sally gap, in the wicklow hills. and still snowing.
Ill have to get some snaps up, as it really is a great sight. cant get to work though, im self employed so i see it as a downside. (kinda!!)

Just heard on the telly that the south is due to get bum raped by it all pretty soon enough! :)

Read in the paper of a girl up around derby I think bombing downhill on a sled reaching about 50!!!!mph, then launching into a barbed wire fence getting killed outright, nasty shit! Sounds fun though.

yeah it was by us, read it in last nights paper. they were 3 up on a land rover bonnet i think it said then hit a barbed wire fence.
