Can't make decent progress around here, with all the falling branches and trees, whiteouts etc., turning 2 lanes into one most of the way.  I'm ready for the heat wave we had this time last year!  However just after that we had this:



Mad climate! :rolleye:

It only just started snowing here about about half an hour ago, I usually love driving in the snow but I'm on standby to take the wife to hospital to have our baby so don't want too much this time!

I didn't let the snow put me off this morning as traded in the passat for a brand new Audi A1 S Line collecting in a week. The audi dealer was deserted and the service was excellent

Just means we now have the Pirelli as our main car  :jumpmove:

Do you like potatoes?

It won't be too long before they can't be viably grown on any sort of scale. The ground is saturated.

Potato prices have increased by 189% since last year, apparently.

We will destroy the world, it's just a matter of time.

Well there's been 14ft snow drifts a couple miles away from me, so don't think I'll be going for any drives for the next couple of days  :driver:

Sorry for the small pic, it's the only one the police managed to take  :surprised:

Had some more snow overnight... this drift was over the top of the landy :surprised:  Doubt the Golf would have made much progress today, even with winter boots on.
