Title: Snow thread
Post by: Jay on 09 February 2012, 22:14
Surprised there are no complaint threads about the snow yet :shocked:

Anyone got much? Not a great deal here yet, would be good to have enough so that I can stay at home, but then my road / cul-de-sac turns into an ice rink and a pain in the arse because its brick paving  :undecided:

my cul-desack is the same mate.

i am starting to hate it, theres hardly any here, and the little that there is is on the paths and thats it, roads are clear, yet everyones still driving rediculously slow.

that coupled with the road works on the a66 are making it a nightmare for me, normally takes me 30 mins to get to work, its currently taking me 20 mins to get through the 4 or 5 miles of road works, then about 30 mins to do the rest of my journey  :angry:

The last few years people have always complained about the roads not being gritted etc etc.... But gotta hand it to the council this year all the roads near me have been really well gritted! I'm off to drive in some fresh power in about an hour should be fun! Times like this i do wish i had a 4motion tho!

I have to get to work in the snow, no matter how deep it is. However, my commute when I'm snowed in is much much much shorter than if I had to drive in the snow.

Approx. 3 foot from the bed to the desk  :grin: :sad: Maybe the snow will kill my internet so I can't work from home?  :grin:

Its reasonable in Lincoln now,but driving back from Mansfield to Lincoln last night which normally takes 30 mins took me 2 hours as i was stuck behind a fishtailing BMW most of the way.

Pics out both ends of my house this morning.
