[Peter Bell]

Is it snowing everywhere or just in Bedfordshire? I have about an inch on my tin top!

My Dad tells me it is in Coventry, but there's none down here in the soft south.

If it does, everyone will be blaming the council again, and the word ''chaos''will get over-used. as ususal.

We had a bit in Lincoln tonight about 8pm Joey got all excited then it turned to rain

[Guest 2bsprint]

We did have quite a lot here between 7 and 8, it was good fun driving it

apart from dodging the people who wanted to do 20 mph

 

...but most of it has already melted and coming back from Stone there were floods in the road

I blame it all on global warming.

Therefore earlier onset of winter

No sign of snow here in Darkest Surrey

[Guest salty_monk]

No snow in Dongguan City.....

[Guest Nishka]

It was snowing in Preston yesterday as well!

 

But that is nothing new in this city!! Its late this year for the North.

Did I read somewhere that someone used a RH as a everyday car. How do RH's cope with snow?

 

I swopping to narrower tyres could be an option

My Sub-K is my everyday car, the journey home from work last night was very wet and then it snowed so it's well slippery this morning in Cambridge.

Because it's Children in need day I came in shorts this morning as well

I had to drive from East Manchester to Preston yesterday evening. It started as sleet in Manchester - became snow as I drove up the M66 near Bury - it had "stuck" as I drove over Haslingden Grane (very pretty) - and was just cold and wet by the time I got to Preston. There's a good bit still on the Scimitar (it looks white again rather than dirty).

 

Coming over the Grane I got fed up of the trucks doing about 15mph so decided to take a shortcut down Pickup Bank. Unfortunately I rapidly caught up to a Vitara who had decided to do the same thing but wouldn't do more than 20mph. If it hadn't been snowing I'd have passed her - why-oh-why do these people suddenly slow to a crawl when it snows? OK slow down and be a little more careful/cautious/ready but last night was just ridiculous.

we had quite heavy snow last night in Northants (big flakes) but this morning was the big problem - as it had been -3° overnight and the car had got wet before it snowed, all the doors froze up and I couldn't get in to the car

[Guest johnboymac]

no snow here (central scotland) but it was -5 at 6.30am, so I had to scrape the windows and then drive using fists only cause my hands were frozen stiff. made gear changes a bit interesting. apparently a fair bit of snow in aberdeen though.

doors froze up

 

Thats the advantage of using the hood, no doors
