snow

[blair]

The other night after a wedding took 3 hrs to get 20 miles , the taxi driver couldn't drive in snow to save his life and we were mainly stuck outside a police station ,  there was a copper who was trying to help others ( BMW's) to keep the road clear and after attempt no 3 i asked if he would charge me if i got in and drove up the hill and he said yes with a smirk on his face , after attempt no 7 he was asking if i thought i really could get it up the hill . just at that point a 4 x 4 driver gave us a tow but it didn't end there, we ended up needing 5 tows in total and then he tried to charge me £52 for the pleasure , i passed him a £20 and walk the rest , about 1 mile in me kilt , i was a bit cold .
the next day we set off for Edinburgh and normally its about 2.5 hrs there but after 8 we were just 5 miles shy of Dundee and that 90 miles down the road , we never got to Edinburgh as all the roads got closed so we headed home , 12 hrs total time , mind you we got to sit in a snow Storm that had thunder and lightning.

here's the wife's car after the first 2 days, 1 and a half feet  . the temps was -18 the other night and we are set for more snow yet , just as well i don't mind it

Been cold here, but not that cold, the second car I tested today had the outside temp on the dash, at 10 it was only still -6, did not seem to warm up all day (The garage dont get any sun in the winter.)

I'm really disappointed with the snow in Hatfield, rubbish. Blame the smackheads, their snorting it up faster than it can settle
