Here in the UK have had a bit of snow overnight, about 4 to 6 inches, the whole country is closing down !!! WTF !!! We have snow, we have had snow for ever, but as soon as it lands and stays for more than ten minutes its CHAOS, I have just been to let the chickens out and feed/water them, its a journy of about 1 1/2 miles, out of that only about 800 yards of road has been gritted, the rest is snow and slush, I even got overtaken by some idiot, everyone is driving bumper to bumper, some car drivers haven't even bothered to clear the snow off thier vehicle, all of the schools in our town have closed till ferther notice, I spoke to a bus driver while waiting in the traffic queue, he told me all his companies busses are restricted to local runs only, there a lorry in a ditch on our main road into town..............
Before i left this morning my car was totaly cleared of snow and ice, i had a flask of tea, a sleeping bag, some food, all in the car, and i was only going a mile and a half LOL i even put a towel an blanket in for Dj, the snow shovel was already in the boot along with my usual kits ( rope, jump leads, jack, spider spanner, tyre pump, water, floro jacket )..
The council have kindly put GRIT bin along some roads, so in bad weather people can us it to clear the ice off the roads etc, I just went to the one closet to me and its EMPTY !!!!! we have known this snow was coming a week ago !!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
