marmite snow
i really love the snow, part of me seems to enjoys the chaos it causes, but its easy for me to say that as i cycle to work and im not really affected
by it in the driving sense, it does make me happy though!
obviously it not good for peoples safety etc.

I love it, but what I don't like is all the idiots who "try" to drive in it!! Particularly those who wheelspin the nuts off their
cars putting down a nice polish on the ice, and also those who don't clear snow off their roof and bonnet and drive around with a "snow
hat" on their car.
Joking aside it's getting pretty bad in some places, my mates has a 55 plate Discovery with snow/ice tyres on and he got stuck today, he nearly
hit his house in a BIG way too!!!

I love driving in snow. I have to drive from London to Oxford in the morning and looking at the weather forecast it could be fun!

When I was 18 I had a 15 mile drive to work at 5am and used to love it in the winter. Trying to see how fast I could go in my Alfasud on snowy roads.
As the handbrake was on the front wheels I thought I was a rally driver, left foot braking everywhere (not that I was much good at it).
Great fun though!

Currently love it, but I have to take a Transit Luton from Hampshire to Derby tomorrow so I may have changed my mind by this time tomorrow
Last time it properly snowed down here I got so infuriated by the complete retards trying to drive on the (gritted) main roads that I came off and
went down the back roads. Was much much quicker, although some hairy moments going down a steep hill on a road barely wider than the van

hat it hate it hate it!!! normally like snow and driving in it but spent 8+ hours on the road today and only managed 2 hours work. usually the other
way round. did see loads of idiots driving really badly including girl in an MX5 come out of a side road, right across a main road and straight
through in to some poor blokes garage. with all 4 wheels locked still for the whole process beautiful

Best driving shift of all, until the numpties come out from about 05:30. I work from midnight till about 09:00.
I love it, snow not a problem. Until the numpties appear, that is.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

yep in the beemer with LSD (diff, nothing illegal lol)
hmm, ice drifting on roundabouts with the TK would be pretty awesome

Pain in the bum. The guys that work for me use it as an excuse not to work. Its a bit of snow.
There is only a bit of snow on the ground. Its difficult enough running a small company.

thats the only good thing i can think of about picking the buggers up, they cant get snowed in! Employees are far more workshy than the self employed,
but then, they would be i suppose.
