--- Quote from: "Stormin" ---As I sit here, with logs blazing away in the stove, dogs lying stretched out on the mat and glass of cider to hand, I can't help feeling slightly amused at all the fuss about a little snow. :? 4cm (what ever that is) :? 2-4 inches. That's not snow! :lol: When I where a lad :D I can remember going to work from Parbold near Wigan, to Mossley Common, Manchester, (19 miles) in a foot of snow. And THAT was on a motorbike. Good few years back mind. :wink:

Yes, indeed! 2 or 3 cms of snow and the country grinds to a halt!
Had an amusing sight the other morning of someone trying to keep the country going. An articulated truck full of sugar beet (what would that be? 25 tons maybe?) trying to get up the hill outside our house. Got half way up and just sat there wheels spinning. He couldn't easily back down since it is single track with ditches both sides! He did eventually crawl his way over the brow, but took a good ten minutes!
