Finally got some snow settled in Bognor Regis, West Sussex....

Basically I'm screwed as I have a bald rear tyre... well at least until I get up tomorrow and go get my new tyre!

Always good for a chuckle if you know what you're doing though. Very Happy

As I said above, I'm getting a new tyre, as my rear one is currently a slick. seriously, there's more grip on a pane of glass...

new tyre will make little to no difference, unless your getting spikes or paddles

true. but the snow is pretty much gone now, and there's nothing left for it to grip at all. I'd like some tread for wet roads, and I can't afford 3 points on my licence, I've already got 6 and I'm still on a CBT...

Finally landed in Birmingham lastnight, not much, about 1/2" settled on the roads but it's still snowing, not enough to really add to it though.

At least Clanger won't be chiming in for once to tell us of blue skies and sunshine Smile

Probably half a centimetre of snow last night in Bolton! And my 0840 train this morning was delayed till 0955. Absolute joke, its a good job we have internet on our mobiles as there was no announcements Evil or Very Mad When we finally got on the train, it was a 2 carriage shit heap and it was rammed.

First time I've ever not made it to work due to snow.

I got the car half out of the drive and on the road when it got stuck.

Spent the next hour digging it out enough to get back on my drive!
