We went out too for a bit of fun in the syncro.

Firstly we rescued 2 stuck vehicles. A girl over the road had reversed her car down a step she couldn't see in the snow, while trying to turn round:





Then we met this fellow in a transit who decided not to go up and over the little canal bridge and then got stuck and couldn't turn around:





Notice the guy has slip-on shoes

This is a view of the allotments:



Then we went on a country drive on the Herts/Bucks borderlands, very beautiful, but incredibly slippery under the snow:

Pah lucky devils......nothing yet here worth mentioning in the South West (well Clevedon anyway).




It's meant to be coming Tonight though.

Woo Hoo

hey welcome to my world. Anyways go out there and have fun, remember no turning and braking at the same time! And don't forget to turn off the lockers.

Not much on the roads in Compton Martin, Mendips, Somerset at 15.46 this arvo.


But enough to make walking chilly on Beacon Batch.


Found a couple of offroad public byways, but chickened out as on my tod and the VC aint working. Didnt fancy my chances!

man is this post funny.

I had to make do with no Syncro also:

man is this post funny.

Yea, all of 4" of snow or a foot in places

It's the novelty, we'll get over it...

Well it can be fun and pretty ,until you HAVE to shovel for 20 minutes every morning just to get out of your parking spot. Also very happy since i got a locker transmission

Did all my playing in the snow on road tyres and never got stuck or was unable to get somewhere. Wonder how much better the BFG MTs would have been.

Found my Machos MTs quite good, but dreadful when there's ice under the snow... slid for yards on some roads when applying brakes

Think MTs like deep fresh snow

And don't forget to turn off the lockers.

Thanks Caveman from Montreal, good advice... didn't go near those knobs all day!

Looking at that video on GC, I think you meant 'white-laneing'

As for champagne in the snow, looked like yet another variety of euro-pi$$ to me

PS. The focus-ring is the one between the aperture and zoom

Hey some of you got some real snow. I heard parts of London got 30 cms , which even here would be a decent amount for one snowfall. Didn't look like that much on the telly but still. Of course it wouldn't have shut everything down, maybe just outlining schools. A few years ago Toronto got a real blizzard [they are much more south than us and don't get as much ] and the whole country is still laughing at them 6 years later because the mayor called in the army.

Finally, got to go out in the snow!!
What a sight this morning!







Simply cannot believe the amount of 2wd and arctics on the road, Both major routes shut out of our town due to jack knifed lorries. Wasn't a problem for us as we took all of the little side roads.




Local 4x4 have a response team and are on standby, they had a request from the fire service and have got 15 4x4 on standby





Roll on tomorrow, predicted snow again and Georgia's school has already said that they are shut

Snow has come at last...
