Dave-350 Posted January 18, 2013 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
rtbiscuit Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 well i made it to work in the XKR today, was easy, getting home wil be more fun me thinks with the extra snow. Quote
FUG Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 i put the car into hibernation and got the train in! Quote
ChrisS Posted January 18, 2013 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
rtbiscuit Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Lol, i'm teaching ICT this year as well Quote
Wasso Posted January 18, 2013 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. Quote
Aliensurfer Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 I'm flying from Belfast to Leeds this evening.... Quote
rtbiscuit Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 I'm flying from Belfast to Leeds this evening.... good luck Quote
Fodder Posted January 18, 2013 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. Quote
glrnet Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 I'm flying from Belfast to Leeds this evening.... Grasshopper, Switzerland, Belfast, Leeds, where next? :wink: Quote

It's getting worse out here. Mainly wind and drifts at the moment. Quote

Mate, you lost it more than a couple of years ago :wink: Quote
Fodder Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Steph's signed in and.......................working from home. It's getting worse out here. Mainly wind and drifts at the moment. 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
Aliensurfer Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 I'm flying from Belfast to Leeds this evening.... Grasshopper, Switzerland, Belfast, Leeds, where next? :wink: I didn't make it to the meet, and not been to Switzerland but I do travel enough to sometimes wonder if its worth paying rent for a flat!

Diab2005 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Posted January 18, 2013 Made it in alive...no issues. Did double check the pass no Fodder I was thinkin this would prob be the one day I forget it haha Quote
KC350Z Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 I just got to z home after it got stuck on the big hill before my house lucky nice bloke in a 4x4 gave me a tow up the hill and put the z away now where it will stay need winter wheels and get rid off these stupid 20" for some rays Quote
taras Posted January 18, 2013 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
14N Posted January 18, 2013 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
Wasso Posted January 18, 2013 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
ChrisS Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Calm down young Ian and relax. Think positive........................ It looks pretty. Well maybe not the M42. Quote
