Snow...

Postby DasLandRoverMan » Fri Mar 22, 2013 3:43 pm

Woke up this morning to this:

We recieved the message the schools were close, however I decided I had enough to be getting on with workwise to make it worth the trip to the workshop and get on.
The 110 needed a bit of snow scraping off.

One of the better bits of road, some bits had drifts up to 4ft deep. I helped a guy get his car unstuck whilst I was passing.

A few Christmas card images?

Anyways, the snow started coming down somewhat heavier about half 1, so I decided discretion was the better part of valour and that getting home whilst I still had option would be a good idea.
On the way back I came across an abandoned van stuck in a drift, and passed a snowplough up to its axles in a ditch.
The local tractor workshops AEC Militant was seen heading out towards it about 20 minutes later.

Hoping things clear up over the weekend so I don't have to disappoint anyone.

We only got a light scattering which didn't last very long. Nice photos.

Everything did.

The dogs have enjoyed themselves out in it.

Not your everyday shopping car.

And feeling rather smug at having been successfully navigating the snow I managed to clip the neighbours wall with the disco when the front wheels slipped on compacted snow.

Image

Ah well, it'll fix easy enough.
