Re: [Merged] Snow!
well it's stopped here for now, outside is like a bleedin ice rink - which i doubt will get much better with temps of -5 due tonight.
so not looking like i'll get anywhere near the office tomorrow. i left the office in wirral at 2 and got home about 5, a grand total of 30 miles. and the smeggin idiots were still out.
on the m53 it filters down from 3 lanes to 2 just before ellesmere port - 2 inside lanes heavy with slush and lane 3 with slush and fresh snow. so as everyone slows down to filter (well as slow down as you can from 30-35) a bloody car transporter flies past in the fast lane doin 50-60 leaving my van covered in dirty slush (it was nice white snow). trouble was everyone else started then.

The A617 between Blidworth\Rainworth & the Widdicome fair was quite bad earlier and the idiocy of some drivers beggars belief.
Tesco was deserted, it was quite nice to scoot round in a couple of minutes.

The car park looked empty when I walked past at about 2:30, Mansfield was just as bad, I got dropped in Mansfield near the Red, walked through the bus station and the four seasons, 75% of the shops were closed. All the Stagecoach busses that I saw were displaying "sorry not in service", and going back to the bus depot. Oddly enough, Trent Barton seem to be able to operate normally.
Oak Tree Lane was just standing slush. Jubilee Way, was(and still is) awful.

Re: [Merged] Snow!
I am surprised as this village usually is sheltered geographically from the worst of the snow.But it's here and it's 3 inches thick and it's still snowing.

Re: [Merged] Snow!
I can't believe that they've already thrown in the towel and cancelled loads of tommorrow's train services in Surrey. We've only just about got a dusting of snow. Pathetic.

Re: [Merged] Snow!
No snow here yet (in 'The East'), although we're probably not due it until tomorrow afternoon anyway.

Re: [Merged] Snow!

Mind you it will proberly dump it over night.
I will trek my way to sign on tomorrow, and if they ain't open I will raise hell.

Re: [Merged] Snow!
All I can say is that you've both got amazing eyes for pictures.
Very nice shots, both yours and Mrs A's

Re: [Merged] Snow!
Well, just put me bins out. Got maybe a couple of inches of snow..
Oddly, this afternoon/evening (when the weather was no worse than it's been for a couple of weeks), the trains were totally messed up. Now we have heavy snow and when I last checked (about 30 minutes ago), the trains on my local line were fine..

Re: [Merged] Snow!
We have had another 2" overnight I don't think its worth my while spending maybe hour or more trying to get my car off the estate and onto some reasonable roads.
Therefore a day off today May even venture out with the camera.
