I remember driving down the M27 after a moderate fall of snow many years ago. I was taking it easy, driving smoothly at a slowish speed due to the conditions. I was, however, being followed by a Robin Reliant that was lurching all over the road. I wondered what on earth was wrong with the driver…..then the penny dropped. I was driving in the relatively clear wheel ruts either side of the lane, but the poor bloke in the reliant had to drive over all the icy rubbish piled up in the middleComment

Get the waders on you are due for floods... Had to go to a delivery NE of Udine, came up to an old Baily bridge - either I was too wide or the bridge was too narrow. Local guy said follow me, down we went into a field next to the bridge, and he wanted me to follow him across a dry river bed, said it was ok, another truck came past and went straight across so I followed... Found the factory, went to bed, got up next morning and saw I was parked in 6 inches of water... Got unloaded and thought, ok back to the bridge and job done.. followed another truck and we both came to a screeching halt, there was no river bed, just a torrent of water... Took us four hours to get back to the autostrada....
No more bailey bridges now, at least.Comment

Well the snow plough has been by. Four times. The salt spreader thrice! No sign of the bus. Lol
Bin men have said we won't be out until the roads are clear.
Me... stayed in the house log fire, coffee... had to fight my way to the barn for kindling for the fire though. A good 12 - 16 inches of the stuff.Comment

Be prepared for the BBC (British Bulls... Collaborators) to drag out the news at lunchtime. They will have dragged all the reporters back from Ukraine and Gaza (where they have never been but believe every word) to position them in the deepest snow they can find to report on how the country is now coming to a standstill - thought the country was there already.
Just looked out the window - weather forcast - fog at first, temp cold, sun now out and scorching your eyeballs out, later it will get dark and the moon will appear... That is the news and weather...
In other news the girl is one today.... we are still on the Vallium and drip fed scotch....

No snow here......got a couple inches in October, was gone in a few days. We usually have the "white stuff" on the ground around Thanksgiving time. I blame El Nino' but others are shouting "Global Warming"......"Climate Change" etc.We do have quite a bit in the higher elevations, probably above 4000 feet.....we are at 3300 here with just a low overcast and 25 deg. F.

Well, it is the first day of summer today here in NZ, and the sun is out and the temp at 9am is 12C, later it should climb to about 20C, so all in we are having it pretty good.
I do feel sorry for you lot, having the whole winter ahead of you.
Good luck
