No one son comes home tonight and says he followed the gritter on the road and it WAS gritting?????? Just looked at the bbc weather site and we are supposed to be getting a light snow shower tonight.

Had 1/4" ice pellets here at noon, it's going to happen, be ready


l0rd - 19/10/10 at 09:29 PM

I would wish that it snowed tonight.

4" would be enough for not being able to go to work.

I meant, they would have had to close the campus not that i cannot drive at snow.


bi22le - 19/10/10 at 09:42 PM

ah i see your problem, you live in scotland!

Down here on the south coast we have only just started getting below 10 deg in early morning.

Good luck with the inevitable winter carnage!

this was at the end of march a couple of years back (you know when its supposed to be warming up! )


Fozzie - 19/10/10 at 10:36 PM

Down here in the usually sunny south, I was scraping ice of the car this morning, (strictly speaking pouring lukewarm water on the windows)


hughpinder - 20/10/10 at 07:15 AM

Ice on the car and a few patches on the backroads in sunny Lincs this morning.
Be careful out there!

Hugh

Yeah - the 'few patches on the roads' are often caused by those 'I'm not buying any de-icer' tightwads thawing their windscreen with lukewarm water.


tony-devon - 20/10/10 at 08:00 AM

went out to car at 7 to leave for work, and not even condensationed up? said 9 degrees on the display.

guess I better enjoy it while it lasts by the sound of things on the news

need to get better gloves for cycling


dhutch - 20/10/10 at 11:35 AM

We in the midlands had ice on cars today.
- Thin layer over the screens, and balled up lumps about 10mm in diameter all over the bodywork. Simular on the road.

It started to snow at 2am here. Then turned to rain but by 5am there was 1" (approx 25mm for those in colour) of snow on the ground. Had to clear the windows and then de-ice before setting off from work. But there again, I was in the middle of the moors! YO18 7NT if you're bored enough to Google earth it!


Ninehigh - 20/10/10 at 06:55 PM

7 deg right now according to windows sidebar gadget


iank - 20/10/10 at 07:17 PM

Lovely sunrise as I drove to work this morning over the tops through Co.Durham.

My car didn't have any ice on the windows, apparently my missus had thick ice on her car (that was parked next to mine), as the grumpy txt I got made very clear.


morcus - 21/10/10 at 01:43 AM

Finished work at midnight and it felt cold, then got to the car and had an iced up screen and the thing saying -1.

People keep telling me 'it's gonna snow...' but I really hope it doesn't. Slightest bit of snow and everyone else either decides, it's too snowy to go to work or that it's too dangerous to drive normally so I'll drive like a Jollop. The first option annoys me most though.

Ah! but obviously, your car is not 'Cool' or even 'Sub-Zero' like your wife's!!
