Dave-350 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 So you're another unlucky sod that has to drive to work in this. It's getting home that is the problem for me, as my unit is on top of a hill! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisS Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Liams school has been shut. I should get him to sign up here, then if he gets stuck he could do his ICT work with you Rich. Cross country on line ICT lectures, got to be the way forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Well I've made it to Dudley, will I make it home later today, who knows, although I've got my snow socks just in case. Considering I lost it 2 years ago and wiped out two alloys and nearly the whole side of the car I'm a lot more cautious. Good luck to those who give it a go and I'll report back later.

Fodder Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Well I made it into the office no issue, the main roads around Chester are fine. The side roads are covered, just take it easy, use a higher gear than normal and anticpate junctions, other drivers etc. I actually had to come to work twice as the first time i forgot my pass The carparks have been salted too so shouldnt be too much of an issue on campus either. That said I have walking boots, trousers etc in the boot.... mind i only live 20 minutes walk away but i have driven the zed in much worse conditions when i didnt live so close.

Yep wouldve done the same if i lived further away... the OH is WFH so i thought i'd go into the office sure of the fact I can walk home if need be............ she would probably have me doing chores I thought I saw your OH the other day in the main building wasnt sure though... must be a glutten for punishment.... As i said the roads around here are fine now but thats not to say they wont be in a few hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taras Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) If you drive cautiously then the only problem you'll have are the un-cautious drivers and crap drivers out there. Edited January 18, 2013 by RT-Performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14N Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Well I made it to work OK this morning, few slidey moments, but nothing major. Just need to make it home later. And then I need to get to Birmingham Airport for 4am as I have a flight sceduled to leave at 6am to take me to more snow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Well I've been stuck on this one road now for 40mins and we're not moving!! Might put my snow socks on whilst I'm waiting So far journey time 2 hours and a few bum clenching moments on the M42. And I've not seen one gritter no wonder Emgland grinds to a halt. No wonder I hate this country. Bet Jim in Canada is doing just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisS Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Calm down young Ian and relax. Think positive........................ It looks pretty. Well maybe not the M42. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
