Here Comes The Snow...

[mrsmaveric]

probably be gridlocked round the city tomorrow..how does your area cope with a few inches of snow???

Just started in Manchester but just light faffy snow. Looks like it might just turn back to rain.

We don't cope too bad - am between two major routes into the city, one being the major hospital route so usually well gritted etc... Though a few years back when it snowed a lot more than usual the buses stopped, shops shut early, it was quite ridiculous! I ended up walking to work, took me a couple of hours. There was even someone on skis and cars skidding all over.

Snows nice when it first comes down, especially for the young 'un's...chance to get up on the Downs and high hills/slopes and sledge down etc, BUT a pain in the neck if you need to get somewhere and plan a journey, then find its disrupted by snow fallen and yet MORE snowfall.

Always travel with supplies on journeys......flasks of coffee, cold drinks, plenty of food snacks, and 3 fully charged mobile phones ( and in car charger leads ( 2 are pretty crap now lol ) but get a signal on them in most areas if a mast is about.

the first flake that falls in the south east will guarantee a stampede to tescos whereby people will buy enough bread and milk to last until August.

[ummmm]

They've started with just the forecast, Boold. Went to Morrisons today and there was hardly anything.

Well the first thing, the gritters usually go on strike. Then everybody gets the idea to start out out a bit earlier than usual, with a result that you sit in a traffic jam for three hours instead of an hour and a half. So you ddeide to turn back and work from home and you can't log on into work as all the spaces are taken.

I want to thank you people very much for stealing our snow. We have your weather here: foggy, rainy, and eleven degrees...Love it. Cheers.

[Booldawg]

lol ummm. last year they didnt even have the mix you use in a breadmaker left.

already been there, Booldawg, I went out and panic-bought a pizza.

[giveup]

God I hate snow,and if we get it here nearly everything shuts down. But I remember years ago my mother came into my bedroom and said you'll have to get up earlier today and walk to work,and i just did and thought nothing of it,but I still hate snow.

Gridlock is predictable - and expected.

What I am going to get het up about is some TV numpty standing outside in a blizzard in a North Face anorak, showing me snow on the news.

Snow in January is not NEWS!!!!!!!
