4 inches of snow?

[PJ79LIZARD]

I think over night we had about 2mm, all day yesterday all I heard was we were having upto 4 inches. Well it must of missed round ere!

I've still got 4 inches on my front lawn if you want to come round?

It's like broadband speed promises - 'up to' is anything above 0!

The papers always talk it up though don't they

My first experience of snow this winter, not much really but too much for the Marathon Winters, especially as it was quite wet and slushy.
Great excuse to ride on my cheap MTB fitted with Ice Spikers, great fun and no worries at all about the snow/slush/ice.

We had only 2mm as well

We got enough for me to choose the train this morning, but it was nothing like Saturday's drop

Seems to be enough snow in Swindon for a fair few road accidents this morning, a few cars ending up in ditches.
One colleague told me how they were driving slowly, 20mph, on a very icy road they were being tailgated by another driver who kept beeping their horn and flashing their lights because they wanted to drive faster.

2mm? Are you sure it wasn't just a touch of frost?

 

[akb]

We had about an inch. Just glad the chill in the air has gone.

None, nothing, zilch, nada

Is it only me who gets irritated by the big claims on the front pages of the newspapers about supposed massive snow falls ?

Irritated it doesn't happen - well dis-pleased ! I like getting the MTB out to pass all the cars/busses etc (including 4x4's) !

The worst road Was the one right by my works. It had frozen, I thought it was fine when I rode up the hill on my ice spikers, a work mate mentioned he was wheel spinning in his car going up it. I said you wanna get some spiked tyres lol

The fact that it makes news at all annoys me. Its winter. It snows. Get over it.

I stopped buying regular newspapers about 3 years ago. I find them so sensationalist. I'm even beginning to struggle with the local rags now TBH
