    Don't miss Buffalo, NY on nights like this. Have to use power lines & stop lights to find the road.

      No snow down south in St Albans. Its bloody cold though and was frosty earlier. We do do get snow here but not that often and when we do it causes chaos. Personally I love it when it snows.

          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 middle

            No you weren't Tim. It was probably a Reliant Robin! :tongue-out2:

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....
              Typical of the rivers in this area whose bed is a gravel layer laid on clay: water infiltrate from the highground to the north and hits the surface downstream when the space between the river bed and the clay layer is full. Every years many campers or tourists looking for some tanning and refreshment are rescued from river beds that were dry as Sahara just 15 minutes before; the water can rise rapidly coming from underground without warning when it rains on the mountains.
              No more bailey bridges now, at least.

                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.

                    You could be OK by Sunday, should be cold but dry... but the northern end of Denmark is colder than down sarf like me.
                    What's broken this time. Or is is service time.

                        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

                                Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.
