3 rwd cars mean I won’t be going anywhere today
Around 3” with another 9 hours of snow predicted so likely to have 6”+
Unusual for South Staffs in December is an understatement

I think I'll wait until a bit later in the day to decide whether I'll risk driving down to London at 5am in the morning.

The last couple of weeks have seen my normal 4 hour trip turn into a 5 hour trip, so I'd hate to have snow disruption on top of that.

Just for the record, I have NEVER been stuck in the snow in any of my cars - and until the Alfa, none had anything other than high/ultra performance summers on them. But a lot of that is due to not being stupid and not bothering to go out in laying snow*, or when it's -10ºc.



* except for the first couple of weeks after I got the Z4...although still had no issues due to driving carefully, watching out for others and constantly checking the level of grip.

Posted on the previous page but couldn't get the link to work .... a light dusting of snow on the little hill up behind our place ... the square looking 2 storey house just over the road in the trees, bottom dead centre.

Loads of snow Friday and Saturday but nothing today. Been using "sludge" for the last couple of days and up the hill for a walk was -8 this morning :o

I did the same a few weeks ago and picked up a cracking Weber gas with all the extras for 60% discount from a wyevale.
Surprising how quick Spring comes around :)

Nice walk though and hope you didn’t try to carry one home ...

Haha no it was just to have a nose, came away with a pair of garden shears, bathroom sealant and battery charger, all random stuff :?

Main A34 was amazingly quiet at 10.30am but clear of snow but side roads and car parks are still dicey. More pleasant to walk with decent boots on with grip.
