me and a mate were doing a removal job in winchmore hill last night and the snow really came down, about 2 inches in an hour, first time ive used the difflock in london :lol: then 3 of us went out and about near hertford, towed a sprinter van for a recovery company :shock: as us doing it saved them using the winch on the artic sized recovery truck they sent :lol: then we towed a brand new merc up a hill from a ford thats about 4 foot deep, theyd followed their sat nav down to it but fortunatley not gone through it. a good night out (for us)

well, at work in my 18 tonne recycle lorry today my round took me to the east of Northampton where I found thicker snow. these were some images from my stationary lorry. (stationary as in stopped, not a pen holder!  ;) :lol: )



this one was of a country lane that was about 5-6 miles long and sheet ice the whole length.

During the day I didnt get stuck once. As LSP said, if people took more time and used less right foot and thought ahead to what might happen to thier vehicle, ie look at the road camber and predict the car/lorry may slide and act upon it then I am sure more people would get through.

I do wonder why the chap in this lorry is admitting his well over the top driving hours on national tv though!
