I was up for going round Oulton in the snow. I don't think the organisers were so keen though laugh

Sick of it now frown

Got about a foot of it here at the moment and it's still snowing heavily.

I've walked nearly 10 miles to get to both my jobs and back today.
Got the same to do tomorrow and possibly Sunday too.

My feet are killing me and I'm knackered lol.

On the plus side, I can have a few beers, as I won't be driving in the morning and I've got a nice bar of Cadbury's chocolate to eat after my bath, just to make sure I don't dip below my daily calorie allowance wink laugh

Lol, no, afraid not laugh

While I'm here, can I just mention a big thanks to the inventor of the snow shovel love

For years, I've always used just a hard bristled broom, which is usually ok for clearing most snow, as long as people haven't trampled all over it.

I cleared my path with it this morning, with the intention of clearing the drive and Coupe when home from work.

The broom finally gave up on me and decided to snap rolleyes

On the walk home, I needed to go to the cash machine and thought I'd pop to the local hardware store and get a new broom to carry home with me laugh

I saw they had snow shovels and decided to buy one of those instead.

Walked even faster to get home, as I was so excited and couldn't wait to try it out laugh

It's great, a godsend, I don't know why I've gone all these years without one!

Out goes the broom, in with the snow shovel cool laugh

Along with dodging cars with decent tyres who can venture into the snow and jumping on and off pavements, today is up there with the greatest of days laugh

By far the best thing for removing fresh snow is a floor squeegee.

It has been snowing here since 6am.


16VT and X1/9 1500

We must all do our part for the planet.
I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.

Honestly. If it's fresh snow and a good surface it just glides. I cleared works yard with one yesterday with minimal effort. 40ft lines, one after another.

My dad use to use a 4ft by 6ft board to clear the road to the driveway. Back in "the day".

An inch in Hemel... nothing worth speaking of but no doubt there will be a few 4x4s in the ditches.

Snow tyres still on...

We've had fine powder falling all morning - more like frozen thin mist than snow. The snow from the beginning of the week hasn't gone either - I'm really bored of winter now.

We've finally had enough snow to get my 4WD Mazda 6 MPS stuck. I did drive it into fresh unbroken snow on purpose which was well above the sills laugh A quick foot cleared either side and we were off again.

The garden has about a foot in it, more where it's drifted. Couldn't open the conservatory door laugh

I have one very interested two year old love

Anita is flying back from Brazil today and hopes to build a snowman. I trust it will be better than her last attempt...

Brazilians are *rubbish* at making snowmans.

A good foot here on top of the peninies, I have a drift of over 4 feet in my garden and have spent nearly 2 hours clearing behind the coup. It started snowing Thursday night and hasn't stopped yet!
