That's more like it Matt. Only a few soggy cm of snow down here

I just read in The Express that most of us are probably going to die overnight as the country could be buried in up to two and a half inches of snow! They recon on high ground it could even be as much as four inches !! [emoji33]

If we ever get snow like when i was young it maybe the world will end.

Meanwhile, on the continent, they are clearing the roads to make sure the kids get to school on time

Would never have happened if Princess Diana was still around.

Driving home from site today, you'd think that the locals had never seen snow before! A teeny bit of slushy white stuff on the tarmac and everyone is down to 15mph and panicking. Makes me feel very northern!

Yes, plenty cant drive in a dusting of snow. Went past a written off BMW just up the road. There must have had at least 20mm of snow  ?

I think most of those crashes involve someone starting off a bit too fast, seeing snow, thinking OMG snow, swerving and ending up in a ditch.

 

I went to work in the Valtra this morning, taking the winch and trailer to site. I had to engage 4 wheel drive to get up a hill covered in sheet ice (still wheel spinning) and then grab the van at the farm at the top of the hill to go back down the same lane. 1st gear, on idle, in 4x4 and it was fine. The odd time where the speed didn't match the revs, but all good. 

 

I only went down that lane as I was late meeting the ag engineer who had to weld my seat post back on on the forwarder (who ate all the pies?). Amused to find out he was on summer tyres. Please refer to my last years mission to get everyone onto all season or winter tyres!

Bloody No-Deal Brexit, would never have snowed if it wasn’t for Brexit....
