Anyone else got any snow yet?
« on: December 05, 2011, 12:07:10 pm »
Had a little bit come down on Sunday morning and a tiny little bit to give just a tiny covering over night.

Ha ha, I bet it is lol.

I remember earlier this year I was up in manchester visiting relatives/friends and they had pretty good snow and the main road into town includes driving up a pretty steep hill with 6 inches of snow covering it, anyway I came round the corner to find a queue of traffic behind a BMW Z4 sliding all over the place with a woman with white eyes at the wheel,  I just stuck it in 3rd at 2k rpm and overtook them all  :happy2:, all I could see in my rear view was her sideways with lots of FWD cars overtaking her.

When i came back 3 hours later the Z4 was abandoned at the side of the road  :surprised:

I remember about 3 years back coming out of my house to find almost 18 inches of snow had fallen overnight (used to live on a big hill on the pennines), was digging my car out (MK4 GTI)when a chap in a Range rover pulled up at side of me and said "Good luck getting to work in that!",  :stupid: I said im sure I will be fine and off he went (I digging away chunnering away to myself saying "Arrogant Pr%ck"), about 20 minutes later car dug out and warmed up and de-iced I set off carefully down the hill (about half mile long steep downhill), just as i came round the little bend near the bottom guess who has stoved into the back of a parked car near the bottom (T-Junction)  :grin: I took great pleasure stopping and asking him if he needed a lift to work  :P obviosuly he declined with some choice words!  :drinking:

Ha ha, people in Norfolk cant drive in 2mm snow either, I came out of tescos once when it was snowing to find about 40 women stood in the foyer all ringing husbands and boyfriends to come get them as they could not drive in snow, I was thinking "are u bein serious?, its 2mm of snow!!"  :grin:

Woodhead is usually one of the 1st to close I drive that road when going back to see family, the amount of time I see the familiar flashing orange lights "SNOW ROAD CLOSED" signs lit up meaning from holmfirth to Greenfield rather than taking 15 mins takes 40 mins grrr..

My ED30 will likely only see snow when me and 2 mates drive to Ischgl in the Austrian Alps in February, hoping to get it re-mapped to at least stage 1 before then  :happy2:
