Nice piccies

We've only had an inch or so overnight, it's very weird snow though, it's really dry and fluffy if that makes sense.

 

[Mesquite]

We've had about 3 inches so far on top of the couple of inches from yesterday and it's still coming down in a blizzard :yikes:

The dry and fluffy is due to the lower temperatures I think. we had a similar situation here during the two weeks we were "guffed in", a lot of dry stuff ( which tended to be finer too) and then really heavy falls of proper "snowball" snow, 8-12 inches at a time on occasions.

We're iced in at the moment, at least the estate is. Its about 1/2 a mile down the hill to the road and then a 1/4 mile up the hill to get to the main road. Luckily; I got a pair of autosocks delivered last week, they are excellent for getting in and out safely and easy to fit/remove.

Nice pics by the way

Any chance of a review rancid badger? LOL We've been looking at those too as a lightweight alternative to snowchains. But we werent sure how sturdy these Autosocks are, especially on icy/ gritted roads or what happens to them if you suddenly hit clear road and tarmac...

And I'm so glad that all we've gotten this time is a dusting. It's over icy lumps from the last time in places though
A couple of days of heavy snow's fun, but the aftermath is miserable to try to do anything in, or get anywhere either.

cheers,

Seventeen inches here. There's no bread or milk to be had anywhere in town. So glad we had a load in the freezer.

Hay Chris thats one good snow fall we did the 110 mile round trip to are local Tesco's today was fun.....So the Spar and CoOp both out of supplies??

 

[nells55]

we,ve got about 10" in wigan and it looks like we could have more tonite ?

I'm in Blaenau Ffestiniog, ProjeKtWEREWOLF. The road over the Crimea has been closed since yesterday morning. I was chatting to another member of the rescue team and he said that the police were turning back anyone coming to Blaenau from Maentwrog direction so the town has been effectively cut off. It seems to be improving a bit now though.

Shambling Shaman, Co-op has sold out of pretty much all fresh foods (ie. bread, milk, fruit and veg etc) as well as flour (particularly bread flour) and also UHT milk. Eurospar (formerly Somerfield) are similar but do have more fruit and veg and McColls (formerly Spar) is the same. I think everyone has fallen into the mentality of buying more than they need before everyone else gets it and there's none left. Unfortunately this makes everything run out even if there is actually plenty to last if everyone was sensible.

Is the Manod open? if it is crisps and nuts and beer a sound diet
