Good Grief!

Well after all the grim forecasts it's here. Must check out the TV news later and see how much of our transport infrastructure has ground to a halt!

Dave, you going out flying this morning?? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :hide:

I've just had one of the neighbours ask the same :lol:

No.. no flying today. I'm wondering what the roads are going to be like to Rushall. Got to have stitches out in an hour and I want to leave myself plenty of time.

Had the snow shovel out already. Not like clearing pathways and a car park at the pub though :lol:

As you can see from the Photo, I live on a hill. I've just had a walk down to Tesco. Quite amusing watching people wheel spin up the hill. Not seen anyone going backwards yet. :lol:

Hopefully Great Western will grind to a halt. I rather fancy an early finish :lol:

Flat bed truck just got as far as mine and came to a grinding (or should that be slithering) halt. After a couple of minutes thinking about it, backed down to the roundabout :lol:

Had to drive miles in it this morning

Radio blaring out treacherous roads and skidding everywhere...I didn't slip or see another vehicle in trouble at all.

Drive carefully..20 MPH and no issues at all.

Leaving the steep drive the wheel skipped a couple of times but I got out and in over 20 miles on narrow hilly roads, I never lost traction once. :dunno:

The radio was hyping people off instead of encouraging "Business as nearly normal".

I didn't think you could drive miles in your neck of the woods or you'd end up in the sea! :lol:

Two trip mate...I often do 50 miles in a day :worried:

Certainly 30 most days :lol:

A little over 1,000 per month.
