AK350Z Posted January 18, 2013 Author Posted January 18, 2013 Updates people, I need updates! Chuff all here, our forecasts have backed off a bit since Wednesday Quote
Sam Mcgoo Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 We've had about 2 inches settled in West Norfolk for about 4 days now, but with temps of -13degC in the night it hasn't melted at all. Not used to temps like that down here! Not expecting any more snow until this afternoon, but should be a couple of inches when it gets here. Quote
rtbiscuit Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 had snow last night settle at about 1 inch thick, low temps, and more to come ontop at about 3 pm today Quote
Keyser Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Went to see what the roads were like this morning just for you lot - I'm not going out in this Out the window when I got up Be safe out there!!!!!! Quote

Keyser Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) Just watched someone crash in front of me Went to rescue a damsel in distress, pulled out of her road and a Pug 205 accelerates up the small hill into a sharp left (showing his mates how good his car is in the snow) under steers as he is now going way to fast so stands on the brakes OMG anyway it took him a while to get off the verge and I'm sure it's only minor damage to the front of his car - he did seem to slow down a bit after that A I said earlier - be safe out there!

Chesterfield Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Other nations must be looking at us and p*ssing themselves. A few inches of snow and we sh*t ourselves. Schools close, nurserys close, motorways shut. Its laughable. Quote
FUG Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Had to train it in to work today and left the zed in hibernation under the car port Quote
Ekona Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 There was one school on the news that stayed open but with a no-work policy, so all the kids and staff are having snowball fights and sledging lessons If people listened to the mantra "If your journey isn't vital, then don't drive", we'd all be a lot better off.

Ebized Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Somebodys wax is doing a good job there Keyser :wink: The 'beast' just shook it off 1 Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 It never ceases to amaze me how this country is completely shutting down on 12mm of snow... Quote
rtbiscuit Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 There was one school on the news that stayed open but with a no-work policy, so all the kids and staff are having snowball fights and sledging lessons If people listened to the mantra "If your journey isn't vital, then don't drive", we'd all be a lot better off. makes me laugh, we make the situation worse by gritting. just have a policy that all drivers swap to winter tyres in november, and maybe carry snow chains. thing is we only get about 5 days of snow a year. can;t always gaurentee where and how much, so it all grinds to a halt. if we had gaurenteed snow for prolonged periods nationwide, then it is easier to manage.

Adrian@TORQEN Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Wonder how prepared is country for situations like these (Romania, Feb 2012): Quote
Humpy Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 No snow here... A good 3 inches here........... Quote
