Better still -chuck the kids out in the snow.....

The fields around here are almost clear but the wall are acting like blades on a shaver and cutting the snow from the wind and holding it in large drifts on the roads. I've been using my tractor on a stretch of road of road to pull cars through and I can only describe it as Evil. Trying to get rope on to cars that have no quick way of 'snatching' them in a blizzard.

[in the hills]

What?? 


VF ...... tell us more.


6-8 inches of snow here in Powys, stayed below freezing and light snow all day again today. 


The ploughs been this afternoon and cleared the lane though .... not passable yesterday. Neighbour returning from a night shift on Friday had to leave his car and walk 3 miles at 1 a.m.

[Victorian Farmer]

I was driving towards Swindon on Saturday and the radio was saying the road from Swindon to Cirencester was down to one lane.... I was less than 3 miles away and hardly any snow.... it was only on the last half mile that the snow appeared.....
luckily none where I live


Friends up north are stuck in where their even their landy can't get through

Gabi and I finaly got out this morning , the snow plough did get down the lane at the end of our drive yesterday afternoon so we took a chance , We were amazed that 5 miles away they had hardly had a dusting, LLandrindod Wells only had the lightest powdering , my neighbour further up our track has snow over the top of the tractor wheels , What a difference a mile or two makes.
So we should be heading for the airport about 0300 hrs Tuesday morning .

That's good news, Tiz.  (About being able to get out, not the getting up at 3am)

  and blue skies here.  Even snow doesn't look so bad with the sun shining on it.

[renee]

Got the idea from Happygo lucky.
Here is a snow angel I have for all of you who are struggling in the atrocious weather X

[Lesley Silvester]

    Thank you.

Still snowing here this morning, Our landlord abandoned his tractor after getting stuck at the top of the drive two days ago , silly sod tried to drive through a 5 foot drift 1/2 a mile long and could not reverse because of the trailer sliding sideways.

And now you are trapped as well???
