Well that was the longest drive to Snetterton ever...

I dont think the highways agency have been out last night at all, i didn't see any, nor did i see any this morning.

Took me 1.5 hours to get from Longwater to Snetterton. A47 was like ice, 20mph and a jack-knifed petrol tanker. Thickthorn was a joke. A11 was an ice rink max 30mph, then another crash at the Kettering Turning. Then a lorry jack-knifed again at the Stag.

Then its the joke of navigating a closed circuit, especially the bridge which i failed to get up twice despite what some would call a poor run up!

only 2" or so here (Newcastle), freezing now though so no doubt more chaos by the lemmings.............

I'm sure some people think that front and rear fogs are the equivalent of the shields on the Starship bleedin' Enterprise and proportionally more effective the slower they drive

Didn't I hear something about global warming? Where is it?

Even had the Rex out the last few days and great fun getting it sideways. My confidence was improving and drifted all the way round a corner near ours (nothing on the road), admittedly it was probably about 5mph but it felt like 50

I had a massive grin on my face !!! Never had the intake temps that low before either. Just put the snow tyres on Ems car before heading out later. Wonder how long it's gonna be for ?

i too am guilty of some slow snow drifting and donuts Gareth.

its hard to resist :driving:im banking on the snow staying here till christmas day, the roads always melt and ice up but the ground/roofs ive seen are still pure white
