No sight of snow here although its not forecast until about 01:00-02:00 in the morning.

Day off work? I have meetings to attend, and if all else fails, remote access

Will be interesting if we get our projected 5-6 inches of snowfall, when my car is about 2 inches off the tarmac

I will have to macguyver a snow-plough mechanism for the front bumper...

At 11:45 pm i am reporting no snow in South Manchester!

I have just been out and put Ellie to bed (My 9n3)

I went to Tesco to get a cover for the front windscreen, but it worked out about a fiver cheaper to get a Tesco value double bed sheet!! and it wont be as harsh on the paintwork!

Fits very nice over the mirrors and across the window, i have then got it on springy clips to the rear wheel arch!

Only time will tell if it actually works!!

Many many moons ago...... well December 1999 to be precise

I had my driving test scheduled for a winter morn but it was cancelled due to the conditions (icy roads, snow) so instead my Mum made me and my instructor bacon butties and mugs of coffee haha

I passed on January 15th after the local driving centre place rescheduled it

Still nothing here!!

I am sat here on my laptop with my window blinds open like a small child! lol

I love to find a large car park when it snows and practice my driving on ice skills!!

On a serious note, i did that last year and the practice saved me writing my car off on two occasions in the past year!!

Definitely worth doing when the opportunity arises!

Was funny this evening, was walking back to my car in the Trafford Centre car park and someone was slowing down turn into a space, they turned but just kept going straight!!! quite amusing!!

Obviously the gritters had not got to that part yet!!

Haha, Jon Culshaw is brilliant

I remember when he impersonated Shaggy, and prank called Caesar's Palace on Capital FM years ago

Alas, there's no snow where I am yet. According to the Express, we're getting 7 inches (pfft, don't interpret that the wrong way) of snow.

But we all know that the Express, like its right-wing sister, the Mail, tend to overreact to most of today's issues.
