[Crispin]

we got lastnight as well. Couple of cm at best. Still going though so here's hoping...

 

[Gary Stockton]

Now have 3 feet in the street and more than that in the back garden - I almost drowned the dog this morning when I took him out for a pee!

 

[Chris]

Not quite the three feet you have Gary. But this is what a foot of snow looks like if you are my Missus, which makes my whanger about 4 foot long then. Eh?

Hmm. Not remotely bothered at this point about the LC not being operational. If i need to get anywhere, I'll just go in the Verso.

Looks fun!

I should be able to get out in this today - the Yaris was son-free Sunday evening ... Oh, and it's still snowing ...

Won't be going out the front door anytime soon though..

 

[Andrew Prince]

We finally received our share in SW London overnight and this morning BUt not very substantial - barely settling. It's snowing right now in central London - hopefully it will keep doing so and I have a reason to take the day off tomorrow

 

[Gary Stockton]

You have a Cruiser - you can get to work. Lesser mortals may not, but you can - got to be better than waiting for the Tube that's not running ...

 

[Andrew Prince]

Getting to work is the least of my worries - I want to take time off to go and play in the snow in my cruiser Can't do that without snow though... fingers crossed it keeps falling!

 

[Chas]

At last, we've got it in London, not much so far but it's coming down fast and settling well.

What's the going rate for rescuing stuck Land Rovers

 

[Ecky Thump]

At bl**dy last, got up to snow this morning
Been snowing continuously since 5am and it has laid down at least...............1" now

 

[Crispin]

Looks like someone dropped a bottle of baby powder...

 

[Nuclear Chicken]

Ah c'mon. You can do better than that.

 

[callum]

which side of edinburgh are you on gary? i'm in queensferry and its not quite so deep as where you are. i presume you are to the south or east?

 

[Gary Stockton]

I'm in Colinton, so southwest, right up against the Pentlands (walking distance to them ...)

Snowing again there now

So for those with loads of snow and driving with AT's how have you found the grip / performance? We are driving to France over Christmas to a ski resort and am toying with buying either snow chains or snow socks, but I am not sure these are really necessary.....

Tommo and I did the Alps on road tyres, albeit M&S ones. We panicked about chains etc but in the end didn't need them. The French etc are very good at keeping the ski resort roads running and put down fine gravel that presses into the ice leaving you with a sandpaper type surface to drive on.
Chains over there are really cheap in the supermarkets but we couldn't find 4x4 sizes. I think it has to be extremely bad for them to close a road to 4x4s as they would apparently wave a 4x4 on when a road is closed to cars.

Just to add to that, we were all over the area around Taninges, Chamonix and up to Geneve without any issues.

 

[TonyP]

Cheers Les, it's what I thought, but no harm in asking. One less thing to spend money on

 

[Ecky Thump]

Oh, and don't forget a mascot

Lots and lots of miles and he must have been frozen
