Snow

(1/4) > >>

FITZ4X4:
It snowed all night and this morning there was about 30cm of snow at home (Headley near Bordon Hants.) I drove in to work at 6am I made the first tracks down the country lanes. Lots of fallen trees I drove over a couple of smallish trees and pushed through a big trees branches. The rollcage did it job:) It still snowing at work (Camberley) the drive home should be fun:)

V8MoneyPit:
There was some guy on phone to the Beeb this morning who left work in Feltham (?) at 6.30 last night and was still on the A3 at 8.30 this morning trying to get to Portsmouth  :shock:

Massive, massive, massssssssive disruption in and around Fareham - Last night and this morning!

I've been to my daughter's nursery and picked up the kids and care assistants who were stranded there overnight and taken them all home. Five hours to Waterlooville and back. 1000's of abandoned cars along every road. Multiple idiots who think flat out is the way to go.

On a sad note, I attended (along with 6 others) to an elderly gent who had a heart attack in his car. We took turns with chest compressions for 50 minutes until the ambulance arrived. Sadly, he was pronounced dead at the scene. No amount of training prepares you for a situation like that.

Please be careful out there!

Not nice, but well done all of them for trying.
