InsanezeD Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Been looking at the weather for this week and apparently we're due a cold blast from russia bringing heavy snowfall for the east and south coasts for Monday and Tuesday with temperatures plummeting tonight. Take care folks.... ...or have fun Quote
martinmac Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 You really believe them I will use the usual method, look out of the window. It really does wind me up when they forecast this weather and it doesnt ariive. Quote
Beavis Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 It really does wind me up when they forecast this weather and it doesnt ariive. +1 Ever since the great storm, the weather forcasters now give the worst case scenario all the time...............just incase it happens. Quote
InsanezeD Posted February 1, 2009 Author Posted February 1, 2009 We've already had a few light sprinkles of snow here in sunderland today, so it's looking like it. Quote

matth76 Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 We've had snow down south (only a small amount but enough to settle on some back roads) and already seen two cars slide across the road. Bit wary in my new 350! Got day off work tomorrow so it's staying put all day! Quote
M350ZB Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Plenty of snow down here in essex, was out tonight with the girlfriend in my mg, and the car in front a focus estate went well side ways round a round-a-bout, glad not got work till tom night, all be carefull in the morning guys Quote
BulletMagnet Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Well, sun was out today, so I decided to give my car a wash, so I got everything ready for it and went inside to fill up my bucket with water and carwash, got back out the front door and it was freakin snowing!!!!! Washed her anyways tho, so the snow had a nice clean Zed to lay on. Then went to work for my nightshift, and weather is so bad that I'm home now after half a shift. I tell you what, trying to lash containers while snow is blowing in your face at 40mph is no fun!!! Quote

InsanezeD Posted February 2, 2009 Author Posted February 2, 2009 Sure enough it started snowing heavy late last night as forecast, I got up for work half an hour earlier this morning expecting to clear the driveway but it wasn't that bad, had a few flurries of snow today but it's all gone and it's raining now.
