So who's got snow?
« on: January 18, 2013, 02:12:44 pm »
I know most of you will be sick to the back teeth of seeing (let alone hearing the word) snow, but it would appear (as usual) that most of the country is going to come to a standstill this afternoon, so who has it worst?

I'm in Lincoln and we are just on the cusp at the minute (so about to get hit). What should we expect guys (from the ones who have already been affected)?

Any pics would be a bonus too..

Kind regards,

A worried BMW owner on summer tyres  :scared: :signLOL:

Couple of inches so far in Essex, I'd rather be out in the Track car with 888's than the 335i  :smiley:

My 17yr old daughter passed her test a couple of weeks ago and is driving home now  :scared:

I was one of the last to leave work at 10:30 - I almost got stuck going up the driveway, and then did get stuck on a steep hill driving home - luckily some kind people stopped in a 4x4 and helped me  :smiley:

The snow is still coming down in Southampton although it has slowed down a bit since this morning. Can't wait for it to all disappear. :grin:

Working outside of Solihull was pretty bad. As I cleared the windows/lights/plates of any snow, I another half inch on top. Driving home was great with winter tyres until I hit the B-roads in and around Birmingham. Some proper nutters, gridlock etc. Took me three times as long to get home.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
