So Who's Got Snow?

[Shewie]

Got no choice, I'm a grit volunteer for my village. We make sure the whole village is gritted so all the old dears can get out and the kids can get to school. Some of them love us and some hate us. Guess which is which

Ours is the first house on a bit of a hill so I tend to go out and sort the road most years. It's nothing of a hill but it's a tight turn in and you don't carry much momentum to get you up, especially with fat slicks on

Cant remember which winter it was i guess it was early 80s but the drifts were epic and covering cars.

There were quite a few winters late 70's and early 80's where we had a combination of good dumps and enough wind* (Hmm ...) for those drifts. Then, at the point where I could have taken advantage of it, it seemed to stop happening .


* And a good wind froze the drifts enough to stop your mates from collapsing the snow hole on top of you .

Lets hope climate change brings them back

Amen, bit weird that a warmer global climate might cause colder conditions in the UK 'Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday snow' ???

just been looking at the computer models at the met and they comment that we are 'in for the long haul'. Normally when they run the models forward in time it gets difficult to predict but at 24th Jan we are still mobbed by cold air and every atlantic front that hits will just turn to snow. The strap line was 'dont expect to see your lawn until Feb'

Bring it on as long as i can get to White rose Wood in my pretend 4x4

I got so exited about the prospect of heavy snow I got an erection in my garden!

Let's see if it's still up after a 10" dump of snow.
