nixy

2 and a half years now. Whereabouts in east hull are you from? I used to live in Wawne.

I used to live in Hull and went to school in Beverley but rarely get over that way now. I have a friend in Brandesburton i sometimes see. Went to Hull Truck the other week though!

I'm just in the East Yorks area near Pocklington. Where are you from? Rich, the snowman never happened! The snow was so powdery we couldn't even get a decent snow ball going! Was weird! We were both out there in matching wellies and dappy hats but it was useless so we came in and had frothy coffee and put TV on instead!

Yes it really does. When the snow started falling down and the minster was all lit up and playing xmas carols on the bells! Really beautiful.

no point in taking unnecessary risks. I didn't realise you were actually a northerner biscuit??? Its so bloody cold, i left a massive xmas basket arrangement of plants in my car which was a present for my gran. It is now dead........ Thought it would be ok as it was under cover.

Just my crappy camera phone pics from this weekend - wish i had a nice camera and was actually good at taking pics because York was breathtaking last night around the minster area - but NO, we were too busy trying to stay on our feet!

Should be ok by then hopefully. Markie just phoned me to say that it was lethal from my house (which tbh always is as its country roads) A1079 still covered and apparently not gritted or cleared, but by the time he got to Howden and on the M62 no problems at all.

Nice, now do we want to place bets on how long before you get pulled for spacing? That's what they did to me......and i did!

i tried that last night after reading your other post - did it in second and it worked ok.

typical man, it has to be flu.................... Nice pics though!

Don't come biscuit! It's actually still snowing buckets with more forecast for tonight and tomorrow. I am further towards the east than the north but i can't see it being any better.

there's a girl at work that could do with one of those valves........... I know a guy that needs one too! Mentioning no names.............

Yikes! Watch out for a star over your house and beware of 3 dodgy characters turning up on your doorstep bearing gifts.......

does sound like it may be the cold actually - although they are notoriously pants.........

Mm, no yellow snow allowed - and there are no carrots for a nose, I have some sausages so may have to improvise!

several inches of snow this morning and blue sky. We're gonna have bacon butties and then go out and build a SNOWMAN! If it turn out ok i'll post a pic!

i'm jealous. Mine looks like a pig that rolled in crap...........

tbh i went mega slow and bollocks to anyone behind me and i never got into any difficulties. it's very flat here though. I never went above 30mph and on the road in that pic which is an untreated country road i did about 18! The zed was fine. As long as you keep steady and try not to brake and not to put to much power on its ok.

trust me don't be jealous i was pooping my pants.........

Can't the Mrs have it? I thought she liked driving it..........

Just got back from Panto in York. Was worried about the weather but it had cleared up a bit by the time we went. I did have to pour water on my car doors to even get in it though as it was -4 in the middle of the day here....... Panto was ace apart from some spoiled brats sat next to us, amazing how the most posh sounding kids can say the F word in a fancy accent and be totally rude just the same as rough kids! Anyway, came out of Panto and oh my god, the snow had fallen. Had to walk back to the zed and what a pair of divs we were. Arm in arm skidding along in totally inappropriate footwear. Its true though, steering into a skid does work! At one point we started sliding down a slope on the path and decided to just slide with it.......we gained traction again at the bottom of the slope....... Nighmare journey home. The busiest A road in the area (A1079) completely covered in snow and ice and no sign of a gritter anywhere. Unbelievable and very scary.......It was a relief to get off that road and onto my country road which was even worse but at least no traffic.

I think you missed off a 'ding dong' somewhere to go with that picture......... Extra points to chris for getting the forum in his pic!

Balloon??????????

I think you'll find its possible........ http://www.videovat.com/videos/1007/int ... unnel.aspx
