Snow :(

[carlos_canter]

Or less! They make me laugh when they are at home and call in a flat battery when they live in a location that is inaccessible. Why? You can't go anywhere!!

Ah yes, and we ask the almighty question,

Are you planning on using the vehicle tonight sir/madam?

Usually followed by the reply, "no, i just wanted it starting so it will start in the morning, do you think it will start in the morning?"

Usually a stern no and an explanation on the incapability of predicting the future is my reply.

Youll make it up there no problem, vans and trucks get up there.....


.......IN THE SUMMER!

Well a 6 ton truck on 4 inches of compacted snow and ice isnt going to have much chance is it?


Nightmare shift rant over!

Rain here all day -

Washed a lot of snow away,

just need to watch for the frost tonight, converting it to sheet ice.

Hopefully Birmingham and M6 will be okay tomorrow... don't fancy getting caught out...

The forcast for here (Manchester) is sunshine and +2 degrees, so no more snow until Monday - or so I believe

[VauxhallGirl]

bright and sunny here today... melt damn you...MELT!

[marcia]

Snow totally gone here, in fact sun came out and it felt tropical compared to what we have had,managed to get Cavalier washed and went over paintwork with Meguiars Utimate Detailer,looking good,car now back in it's garage for now.

Plenty of snow still on the ground here
It's slowly thawing though.

[Robsey]

Well the snow is no longer an issue.. although there are still bits around..

The problem I have now is a combination of

1) Compacted snow that has now converted to very slippery ice and

2) Living on the side of a hill...

I had to circle the block 3 times to try to get to entrance of the car park where I live ..

1st attempt, and I nearly slid into a badly parked polo,

2nd Attempt, I slid down the access road, and past the car-park entrance

3rd attempt, just managed to get it into the entrance

Hmm, not looking forward to the continuance of these -8 to -12 conditions

The rather depressing forecast is for more heavy snow this week, so everyone get two pairs of socks on!

[Envoy CDX]

urgh no wonder I'm depressed.

[btcctroy]

get mud and snow tyres, they help

[Robsey]

Iunderstand, that for about 50 to 60 quid per corner, you can get "all weather" tyres, that are meant to be pretty good for snow and ice conditions, but also suitable for fair-weather driving...

Dependent where you are in the country, the snow is due any time between tomorrow night and saturday...

[humbucker]

the snow's one thing, the ice underneath it is another. my cavalier this morning:

[Envoy CDX]

I'm not looking forward to this weekend :/

[humbucker]

the words "constant" and "dangerous" are being used in our local weather reports. bah.

[Gaz]

What snow?

[VauxhallGirl]

All my Cavalier's doors were frozen shut this morning!
Had to pour hot water round the seals to get them open... took some doing though. And my boot is sealed shut still!

Ive had the boot freeze shut so many times i just tend to try it see it doesnt work and put my stuff on the back seat till the car warms up and it frees itself.

[Squig]

not looking forward to snow this time have to do car... bugger.

[Robsey]

I'm still waiting to change my tank and fuel lines, but there is no way that I am going to lie on a frozen concrete car park, when the temp gauge says minus 4.5

My hatch has only frozen once... as said above, just thought bog it... and put my stuff in the front passenger foot well.

Not sure just yet Troy, I am trying my best not to bog you about at present, however I will PM you when a mutually convenient date and time show their face.
A matter of fixing a Vectra-C on Sunday (In Ashton Under Lyne),
Shopping EVERY saturday !!
However I am not in work between 24th Dec and 4th Jan
Assuming you mean to take a gander at your Cav...

Work on my Cav will have to wait for a dry day, and also for payday
(Apologies to Gary - went off topic)

Returning to Topic,
It has been snowing here in East Manchester since 8:00pm, and we have about 1 1/2" here already

[Gaz]

Ive just come in again from the snow, i went for a night at squigs mates with him and emma, got home then back out to pick up a mate who was stranded in the city centre. Is actually quite fun having a 10mph powerslide.

Did see some interesting stuff while i was out including a porsche turbo and an elise creeping home in the snow and a numpty in a 10plate bmw doing 40 in the snow.

[TurboSteven77]
