[1275]

We've had a little bit, only eight inches so far

 

[Nans_Micra]

We've had about an inch of snow and my college is closed because three people have crashed trying to get up the hill to it.

 

[wgc_daz]

not a single flake here (20 miles from central london)

 

[Arnold]

none in sussex yet. that 8" on the micra looks wicked!

 

[James]

Nothing here either yet, although I'm led to believe it's on its way South and should hit us late afternoon/early evening

 

[wgc_daz]

snow appaz. in luton earlier (5miles from me) :?

 

[Micra Bern]

Been on and off in sunny Sunderland since before christmas, was about 6 inches on new years day....:down: Bring on the summer!!

 

[Low Rider]

Nowt here too, but the 'EdCast' looks promising

 

[pjg1979]

We've had about 6 inches, and on Saturday our Focus made it's imprint on someones Micra as in buckled both front wheels possible write we reckon. But who parks a car on a T junction at the bottom of the hill seriously.

 

[pollyp]

oww that hurts

 

[Robb]

Micra killer!

 

[NeX]

been snowing here for a few days now, still snowing now, the sea is frozen but i dont know how far out, but i really want to take my car out on the sea

-19 today so getting warmer, but i cannot drive my car because the snow is deaper than the diameter of the wheels.....

 

[little-ls]

Nex has the most streamlined micra ive ever seen!

 

[pjg1979]

Micra killer!

I know, I know so happy that it wasn't mine only because it's SORN'd and no Insurance. I was thinking of asking him if I can pich his interior and alloys etc, lol.

Well we've got a hefty price to pay for the Focus, £150 for a new brake servo, £120 labour and £80 for 2 New tyres.

lol yea i got a pic of it from the other angle it looks like there is a sports car under that snow

panaramic shot of the frozen sea, sorry about my crappy photoshop skills

 

[Arnold]

Loads of snow in Sussex today, i measured about 8" this morning on top of the bin. My Corsa is covered and i couldn't get to work, so working from home

 

[paddymarsden]

Ive been off work yesterday and today, my mate just came down with his land rover to unglue me from the snow. So also been working from home

 

[nexussteve]

I'm currently at work, but not much here compared to you guys!
I wonder if my students will even bother turning up!

 

[joesouthgate]

That's not bad going. When it snowed a week or two back it took me an hour to do 2 miles

 

[joesouthgate]

yer i just went at a safe pace. i didnt have traffic problems at all.

 

[danny1.0l]

well heres my looking at my k11 through my front room window its mad its calmed down now though

 

[Ed]

Here is me pulling a 14ton Fire Engine that got stuck down the lanes near me using my Shogun. Yes it unbelievably DID pull the thing out of where it was stuck AMAZING!!!!!!!!

 

[danny1.0l]

Nice one ed bet the strain on your shogun was immense because its a huge weight to tow

 

[Shaun]

Another Day Off! for me anyways! micra is still stuck down the hill ah well at least its safe! (i hope)

 

[Shaun]

its a white table now (Y)

 

[NeX]

that showgun is awesome!! i think i might get one now

 

[curtis]

 

[pjg1979]

We think We've got it Bad 1 / 2

Just some photo's going around work, lol.

 

[pjg1979]

We think We've got it Bad 2 / 2

And some more.

 

[pjg1979]

lol, didn't realise there was this many, but they are good.

 

[Manny]

lol, didn't realise there was this many, but they are good.

some good photos there? what happened to your focus? think we need some snow tyres because the car slides and wheel spins and gets stuck.

 

[Ian]

Ed that doesn't surprise me. Fire fighters are idiots

 

[Ed]

I take offence to that. They were doing their job, and I know damn well you wouldn't say that if they had to pull you out of a burning house / car crash etc.

 

[Manny]

yeah thats true. did you chains on your tyres to help it grip in the snow.

 

[Alexx117]

of course he wouldnt, no need to snap he was just saying their idiots for getting stuck...

 

[Ed]

They were on a call for two vehicles that had slid off the road. They gave way to allow another motorist to pass, and then were stuck too. As it happens once I had pulled them out they fitted their own chains and were fine.

Manny, the chains made all the difference. Without them its still better than most other vehicles on the road, but its still pretty bad, and you will slide about more than I like. With them I can climb anything. If I am able to pull 7 times the weight of the Shogun in the snow/ice I think that shows pretty well their effectiveness.

I work with them every day, i get to see them outside of fire fighting.

 

[Ian]

fighting fires, chemical spills, fitting smoke alarms, sure they are good at that, its their job, they are trained for it. It was just a joke, don't be so serious.

 

[johnhum]

heres a pic of what the snow is like at my house in sunderland

And icicles

Got the Focus back today, with a today cost of £496.oo, got Tax this Month £110 and MOT is due this month which I need the Drivers Side Rear Bearing doing HOLY S**T 2010 looks like a bad year already, lol.

MT Motors had to cut the AIRCON PIPES to change the Servo and they're £100 per pipe but that can wait till spring/summer.

had to cut the air con pipes? they sound lazy to me. i don't know any car that once assembled needs to be cut apart again for repair
