Had to drive around to pick people up for work. We have 6 inches just north of witney oxfordshire.

Sad to admit I was up a 5 to check the depth :lol:


Was that in a company vehicle or your own?

if your own, check your insurance carefully (especially if you're getting paid for doing it)

If anything happens, they could consider it as a 'Hire & Reward' situation & not pay out

Sorry to put a 'downer' on it all


Mine, covered thanks. Not getting paid, my company.

Just been to my local town - Chipping Norton, it looks like a mini-Billing, people are using trials cars and full expedition prep. cars :lol:

Snow pics from Warwickshire-4" coverage here on the Burton Dasset Hills. Only 4x4's could make it to the top!! Quite a steep, long lane up to the country park on top. Coming back down the hill was interesting to say the least- the Surf was sliding dow sideways for a bit, and then ended up facing the wrong way in the field some 10 yards from the track!

School canceled so the kids had good fun sledging though!

Hi Guys.

We had a good covering today in the fair county of Rutland, made worse by it falling onto ice covered roads! Still good for a play though!

Anyone know what it's like in County Durham? Got to be up there by 9am tomorrow and it's work so can't take the Defender - I'll be in a Mercedes S500 sledge!  :cry:

Woke up at 4am to no snow. gutted. had a lie in for 45 mins, woke up, dusting of snow. left house at 5:10 with an inch on the ground. snowed until about 11am and now we have 3-4 inches of the lovely stuff. Just had a 2 hour snow ball fight in my close. not really fair teams. 2 blokes against about 6 kids!!! fight will resume later on probably.

Here is a pic of my road :) Click on picture to see more if I have done it right!

West End had it, lots of it. Oddly no where else round here did, guess it might because we are highest point in southampton and sheltered. Not a tiny bit on the way from home to work and people were looking at the state of my car as if I'd driven in from the arctic.

Did our bit tonight  :D
Kids were off school so they spent most of the day in the back garden.
Got home from work and went out to a couple of local lanes, just driving the normal 'back lanes' was fun as not much other traffic had been about to get rid of the snow  :lol:
