I ordered a set of Nankang SV-2 last night. The price seemed pretty reasonable, and as you say, the reviews seem universally good.

Had snow for two days in Aberdeen now - roads were an absolute joke yesterday, not a gritter to be seen.  Golf has been abandoned for the missus's polo today which is a yeti in the snow.  Also trying to source some snow tyres but seems everyone has had the same idea locally ...  :ashamed:

5" of snow on top of the car and drive this morning.  :evilgrin:

Didn't make it to work today due to the amount of snow that fell through the night (a good 5-6" )..  :surprised:

All the snow must of fell between 01:30 (when I got up to go to the loo) & 04:00 when I got up for work.

And with my leaving the house @ 05:00 to get to work I was the first to move in the street and one of the first to go through the village.

Just managed to spin/crawl my way out of the village but then its a lost steap bank to get up, just far to dangerous to be driving on..... Had to turn back and ditch the car on the main front street  :sad1:

The front splitter on the Eddi was like a snow plogh..

Thats what i don't like about the modern golfs the front is far too low for winter conditions. Its why i have a cheap banger car for the bad winter fitted with winter tyres.

....Not a lot here but very icey and the local gritters are notorious for going out after the event rather than before, especially on a Sunday!! :fighting:

There's a very high altitude (highest on whole South Coast) and very exposed hill with the A35 going over it as the only exit eastwards from here. I was going to have lunch with friends near Portsmouth tomorrow but now I doubt I'll risk it [especially as I'm a Southern Softie].

Just home now. Left Dundee at 10 am to head home to edinburgh. Sat in a que for 4hrs then diverted off a90 at friarton bridge. Had tea at kfc then headed home. Made as far as my rents in Dunfermline. Nightmare is not the word!!! On a plus note, wasn't in the edition 30 thankfully as I'd still be stuck there!!!!  :driver: the snow in perth was outrageous!!! Almost 2foot deep!

Nightmare, I will own the car outright on Tuesday, and I can't pick it up,  I could have it delivered, but as I've not seen the car and purchased it, plus I like driving a new car back makes sense to collect.  Seems I may have to wait till Friday to collect :(

There's at least 12-14" sitting on top of the wheely bin and a good 3" on the washing line  :surprised: we even had thunder and lightening this morning...

3rd day in a row that I cant get to work  :sad1:

 I'm in Armadale, West Lothian and all schools in the lothians and fife are closed. Edinburgh airport has also suspended flights. More snow expected this afternoon and tonight!  :scared:

^Whats wrong with that road, i see tarmac so it will be fine. :evilgrin:  :P
It has cleared up alot since this morning, it was not fun earlier in the day when fully covered.

I managed to get to work a 16mile trip  too the far side of Newcastle at 6:30 this morning. Was an interesting trip i would not have tempted in the mk6 due to the road surface still been well covered and very slippy.

Freezing fog on the way back at 3PM was not fun either, but i left early rather than at rushhour so not to get stuck behind the townies and southeners for 2 hours while they fail at driving  :P
Most people i work with from round were i live did not make it in, infact only a few did. Even the woman with the 4x4 mitsubishi pickup from the coast only made it in at 1PM  :grin:

Its the lightening thats getting me. It blinded me coming down lobley hill bank this morning and i could not see for about 5 seconds was scary moment because its so bright.

There is  a foot and a half of snow outside the house at the moment so getting to the main road tomorrow morning will be fun.. As i simply booted it in from the main road tonight.

It's very important to keep the birds fed as without enough food the cold can kill them overnight.

The Mrs managed to get a lift to work from a colleague with a 4x4 but had to get droped off at the lights st the top of the village. She then had to walk down into the village and said that the police were at the top of the bank stopping people coming down it.

It will be much worse than that photo now. Was a nightmare coming from Newcastle especially getting stuck behind a brand new SAAB 95 which stopped our progress up the banks . We had to go via Stanley were the main part is nice and clear but as soon as you leave its very slippy or just white. Those hail stones that came down made the road much worse too. Tomorrow i hope it does not snow as i need to try and hammer my car back into shape so i can shut the door  :ashamed:

I wish it was that little here on the main road. I have spent 8 hours solid moving snow just to get the car to the main road as it kept getting beached and will not grip until it hits tarmac. I had to dig tracks all the way to the tarmac and stop every foot to clear the pile of snow in front of the car. I went back to try and get our other cars out and i was back to square one as it had snowed so much all day. I give up...

Northumberland is gritting and there snow plows are set to 5mm off the tarmac. Durhams either are just driving round or they are set so high its doing next to nothing for cars as everyone i have spoke too said the car were bottoming out. If you come along the A1 its fine until you get to the county Durham area were its white. Durham county are taking the piss.


Oh and in those 8 hours i spent more or less at the road side i did not see one gritter, or any snow plow doing anything.

Im dayshift (7:30 start) at the far side of Newcastle and i did not make it today. Trip home on Tuesday night took over 2 hours and was scary, plus i had to walk down into the village.

I didn't drive anywhere for work last week due to the snow. I thought I'd be alright today, but the -7.5 degree temperature this morning still got me......

About 7:20am this morning, I was on the M62, at the summit (highest motorway in the UK) when my car decided it didn't want any coolant so wee'd it all out  :sad1:

It was -5.5 when I stopped and let me tell you, it was damn cold sitting for 2 hours at that temperature with no heating, waiting for a recovery truck, my toes were numb!

....Journeys that bad are ridiculous.

What happens if you don't go to work when the weather is so bad? I'm sure I wouldn't bother. Perhaps if people refused to go to work in such conditions the govn'ment might be obliged to fund more extensive measures to make the roads passable.

I would phone and say you're stuck at home due to the weather and is there any work you can do for them at home via email etc.

Even if you're not absolutely stuck they're not likely to call your cards in the current weather conditions everyone is most are facing.

I've been reading this thread with some bemusement, originally with a bit of added jealousy  :signLOL: down here in the South West we've had more than our fair share of frosts and it hasn't got much above freezing point for what seems like weeks now, but we actually only had one or two days of snow; about 1cm where I live that lasted 24 hours or so before it initially turned into sheet ice then was quickly washed away by rain.
It seems almost unbelieveable that only a couple of hundred miles away as the crow flies you're up to your necks in snow.

As for Robin's comments about people staying away from their jobs en masse to spur the authorities to do something more pro-active. Sound thinking but, as ever, it's one of those British things in that we do lots of moaning but we soldier on regardless. Our friends just the other side of the Channel would have done something to force their government to get their arses in gear by now.
Another slight issue is the way employers will treat staff, so many people's working conditions are now slipping back to good old Victorian standards where an employer simply won't pay you if you don't show up. Not too bad for those who have laptops and can work from home, or those maybe on higher rate tax who can afford an odd day without pay but for the general working man and woman who are hourly paid, they simply can't afford to take days off willy nilly.
We need a bit more of the French attitude over here!  :mad:

Even if you're not paid, you'll survive. Why not relax at home rather than risk getting your car damaged or abandoned - Take a break. People who work don't get enough time for themselves anyway.

Last night there was a smidgeon of snow on the pavements. This morning, there was a fair whack. It seemed to have settled so we decided to set out (empty fridge and no sweets). Drove out fine, parked up at the supermarket.

Came back out. First thing that peeved me off is that despite an entire rear car park that was empty, some frikkin learner driver decided to park right next to me! Second thing was the snow. If that learner corsa wasn't next to me, it'd have been worth taking a pic. Half-inch layer of snow on the roof, despite the fact that we'd only been in for forty minutes. Had to clear the windows and lights all round and by the time I'd gotten back in, it was starting to snow up the windows again!

Driving home wasn't too bad despite the PS2 tyres but trying to reverse park into the garage was a nightmare. There's no "higher gear, low revs" for reverse! Managed to get it in and it's staying in the garage. I'll walk where I'll need to go. I'd cleared the drive of a few inches of snow but it was all back by the time I'd returned home.

I'm gonna put a couple of supported carrier bags outside and let the snow collect so I can builds me a snow man!

Got 2-3 inches in north and south london.

Had a lovely drive from watford to dartford this morning in the snow. The quattro system on the RS4 is impressive. Saw a BMW do a pendulum on itself and then a honda not being able to stop in time and ramming it

We must be the only place in the whole Midlands that didn't more than about 2mm of snow. In fact it was that pathetic, you can't even see any trace of it left today!

Did 200 miles in this today, car coped very well.  Averaging 50mph.   A90 south of Aberdeen.   
Suppose to be driving from Aberdeen to Poole on Thr though.  I really hope it doesnt snow.

Woke up this morning at 11am and looked out my bedroom window.....  Snow all gone!  :pomppomp: :pomppomp: :pomppomp: :star:

Dunno what it's like on the surrounding hills though. Looks cold and windy out there but I have no reason to go outside - The bird cafe is still well stocked. In fact I haven't left my cosy home since christmas day. I can see with my binoculars that my garden pond's ice has melted. The car has been in her batcave since 14th December.
