Weather
 

So it looks like the white stuffs coming again:grin:

Think its all the kids learnt about at school today!! both came home saying how bad its going to be:roll:


Bet it misses xmas day too:nod:

heard that there's going to be a lot up North, not sure if we'll get it here or whether its the usual scaremongering going on in the media!

When's the snow comming back to the site? Or Santa's.....or.....:smile:

that'll just slow it down even more :mrgreen:

Or that'll just snow it down even more :getmecoat:

SE News saying we may get some in the region over the weekend. But not very much :ok:

Weathers always worse in Crowbuckshire! With it's own mini climate:nod:

We are always good for a few extra inches in the Shire :wink:

Now there's a point: Canada Heights MX track is notorious for getting some extreme weather and that's only 5 mins away from Brands Hatch.

Could end up with some interesting pics for the SES calendar if it snows!

Think its alot of media hype, scottlands allready got snow and its ment to be pretty bad for them thursday onwards also but down here the weather people said its ment to be a light dusting on the east cost and the rest of the countrys just gonna be cold, but no doubt we'll get a few flakes and the media will say "its the big freeze, the artic storm, the big chill, artic winter" etc etc lol

Bring it On.!!! I have my trusty Shed ooh I mean cherished Subaru wagon prepped and ready. Curbed alloys going back on this weekend, 2 bags of grit, shovel, tow rope, wellies and warm coat in the boot......

Can't wait.... had loads of fun last year.

Its fun in any subaru, but in a subaru I couldn't give a flying feck about adds to the fun even more :D ..... Coming through ...beep beep.!!

Hope we dont get too much down here. My Merc was stuck in a car park for a month last winter

Get a proper car then!!!

The Hilux wouldn't have got stuck!!!

Got some snow/mush on the ground down here.. gona go out in the scoob soon :smile:

Looking promising here now:nod:

How long it lasts though is anyones guess:santagrin:

nothing down this way yet, was rather icy though at 4am thismorning driving home from work lol

Whereabouts are you?

Nothing in Burgess Hill, i've ben outside in the cold giving the scoob a wash and swapping wheels over ready for Wednesday at Brands (if the snow doesn't ruin that too!)

it was laying in eastbourne but stopped now

Eastbourne, just got back from an eventful drive. Watched a granny lock her brakes up and swerve into a bush! After that i saw a bloke wipe out on his bike trying to turn a corner.. many lol's were had!

nothing round here yet, just been to Tescos Horsham, just cold

we have had "lots" over the last few days.................probs about 3-4" currently and snowing again

travelled down to Scarborough yesterday for the RAC rally and did about 150miles (in a jeep to be fair) on very poor roads
bleeding blizzard on the way back!!

still no snow here but got to love the cold weather, the scoob feels sooooo much better, pops and bangs a treat :-)

just a little more here this morning.................

Its here finally.....woohoo :grin:

its settled in Burgess Hill but only a dusting. not enough to use as an excuse of not getting to work anyway!

Thats a shame.:lol:

Crikey, you have had a bit!



We have had bugger all this year :sadno:

Didn't fancy the scoob and 888's then steve :):mrgreen:

Errrrrr nope! :lol:

Can you imagine that, I would be better putting ski's on it than driving with 888's :nod:

In Broad Oak it's settled. Now in Burgess Hill upsetting the locals, its dusting quite nicely.

0degC though!

Anyone need glass cutting? My rates are reasonable :P

My trusty steade that got me there

An extra 1.5 inches have now fallen during the day.

Looking like a veritable winter wonderland.

:santagrin:

3ins in Worcester Park .

Just saw a RS focus smash into a wall just off the hight street

:doh:

Thats a gutter :sadnod:

A new one or the previous shape?

we had a tadmore since those pics..................my van hasn't been used in the last week and currently has around 8-10" at least on it

New one... always said they handled like ****, compared to a scoob, after i had one for a wet day before i got the trooper

Well my Impreza is now sitting on an old couples driveway in Cheam, traffic was the worst i've ever experienced.... so gave up

Southeast is a mare!!

Left Lewisham at 7.17, got home at 1.25, 6 hours to do 35 miles. All sorts of cars, lorrys, bikes, just left at the side of the road, or parked up on banks.

Never seen anything like it.

I'll say one thing though, I love the scoob! Saw people in rear wheel drive cars in all sorts of bother!

glad you got home safely in the end mate :ok:

My neighbour left work in Islington at 1:15pm and got home in Polegate at 9:15pm last night:shock:


He left this morning and I notice his vans back now!

Guessing its fairly bad towards M25 way?

I have just spoken to courier. He said anywhere north of Tunbridge Wells is really bad. Snow much deeper, roads terrible.

The difference in Crowborough is as staggering as usual. My scooby has got 6 inches on it at the top of the hill, down at work there is just 3 inches! It is a mile and a half door to door. Crowborough Hill is sheet ice from top to bottom, I have told my staff not to bother until well after 10.00am, as it's chaos.

The good old ST chugs along quite nicely in the snow, which surprised me, no traumas at all. Get her into 3rd ASAP, don't use brakes, job done :drive: :santagrin:

The weather people are now saying it's getting worse than they first thought. Could be another long spell! I might get the scooby down to work tomorrow and change wheels over. :santawave::santawave:

Done that already, i brushed a kerb with my 18s last year on ice, don't want to do that again.

Had the day off work for Brands, but our office in Chelwood Gate has been closed today - so would have got it off anyway!

Seeing some horror stories on the web of people abandoning cars and walking 10 miles to get home etc, Surrey and Kent look like a total no-go zone.

Weather forecasts spot on as usual eh! :waiting:

If its going to do this regularly, i'm certainly going to consider going for a second set of wheels with some winter / full snows on:nod:

Its been fine so far but proper winters will help with the braking side of things:nod:

Snowing well in Hastings, weather men say its going to get worse , roads are getting covered , still happy days no work :-D

Defo grim in Hastings and more to come, but trusty old scoob done its job perfectly, and got through roads 95% of cars wouldn't even try. Even parked in my firms carpark which was the only car to attempt it..... No worries.

Note the donuts in the snow ;) :D Couldn't resist

Have to keep reminding myself though, As good as the scoob is It has no breaking/stopping advantage over any other car, and you still have to worry about the other cars stuck/slidding about in front of you...

I drove up from my parents (Eastbourne) up to to work (Cranbrook) in my little old clio today. Roads werent to bad. Sounds like T Wells is pretty boned though. Leaving at lunch so hopefully I can get back to my flat up there.

Clio is no fun :(... Should have brought the scoob

More due tonight/tomorrow morning in our area....Joy!

Those xmas Pigs have just started on my screen ,:?
Took the big one this morning No problems and ok coming home 45mins both times - big change 48bhp(R2) up to the Impreza.:ninja: Gatton Park Road was the worst bit. only 2 of us used the outside lane on the A24 - scoob and Range Rover Sport.:ok:

Snow day tomorrow then! Best wrap up warm when I'm walking to the pub tonight lol
