I can see our move being a problem


I'd go for a light snow tomorrow (Fri) but none more over the weekend...
Good luck with the move. I'd say main roads should be OK ...

Be true to yourself. That way happiness lies...

I run 700/25 in the winter! Looks like tomorrow is going to be bad, lots of places telling staff not to come into work tomorrow

Spoke to the removal chaps; they are keeping Mon/Tues/Wed open for me. Good on 'em Thumbs Up
Also spoke to the estate agent marketing the property who will leave the keys elsewhere for me should they be closed.

Well there was a surprising amount of snow dumped this afternoon around here and I ploughed through of course but the funniest part was passing a heap of crap that is the BMW X1. Sliding sideways on a very slight incline Rolling with laughter

Also, just been out walking the dogs and those new winter boots I got (North Face Arctic Hedgehogs) are awesome. Super grippy, warm, comfortable and yet allowing feet to breath. Thumbs Up LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

Sorry for that, different native language. Over here we call them summer or wintertyres and it is illegal to use summer tyres when it is ice or snow

Yeah it's been good here. Helped some colleagues get to and from work but as you say landy, so many idiots. Yes I have a 4x4 and yes I have winter tyres but I still drive appropriately. I saw someone overtake 2 cars in heavy snow because he had an Impreza. Wow! We are all so impressed tw Censored t 60 plate SD4 XS, Stornoway Grey, Arm rest pack
