How unreal is that snow ??? i went to vist my auntie earlier who lives about 10 miles away so not really that far take about 20 minutes in the car anyway i left as the snow started to fall as i didnt wanna get stuck in it so i nippeed into the asda to grab just a few bits and was in there all of 10 mins when i came out i couldnt believe how much the snow had fallen :/ anyway my journey home then was driving around 5-10 miles per hour god so what usually takes me 20mins drive took me over an hour to get home the road came to a stand still all the cars just stopped on the motor way and just werent budging :/ i was starting to get bad palpitations as i felt as though i was stuck (well i was stuck) but i hate the feeling of not bein in control as if i need to go somewhere i can well i was stuck on this dark motor way that just halted/// and on my left i noticed the road i pass everyday that is coned off well i couldnt wait any longer i moved all the cones and started to drive that way as i new it was safe it had just been coned off to re-tar the road so hey i found a quick way home at lest and the palpitations finally settled :) but god looks like were stuck in for the next day or so if this snow carrys on :( i hate the snow as cant get out when u want to :(

Hey

I love snow, altho i dont drive so i dont think i can have a say in this, yes its a very stressful condition to drive in an it takes alot of care and skill to complete a journey in, it makes me really annoyed when you've got the careful drivers minding their own business trying to complete their journey only for some posh snob in a range rover to bowl along at 85 thinking hes invincable in his big posh 4x4 only for him to crash and cause the road to come to a halt!

Not nice to hear about they traffic upsetting your HA but its good to hear you found an alternative route home and got home safely and are now feeling better.

just taken a picture from my backgarden and the snows still coming down hard (it doesnt show in the pic)

Hope your all ok

We're never happy Petra lol. My car skidded badly on black ice coming off a roundabout last night. I'm soooo glad there were no other cars near me. Could not have coped with an accident AT ALL at the moment. Actually felt like somebody up there likes me for once.

I hate driving in the snow.
Ive been looking out the window this morning and the only people venturing out are the oldies with their zimmer frames and sticks, they seem to be fearless.
One old man was bombing down the road in his mobility scooter, i should have asked him to get me a loaf on his travels.:blush:

Lol Baileys. I think I'll see if my mum can get one of those as she's barely leaving the house just now. In fact ... I quite fancy one myself :yesyes:

I LOVE snow, always have, always will.

I love how everything appears brighter and cleaner with it, and I suppose Freud would say it is a happy childhood memory thing too.

Here's a pic of my back garden....

Proper annoyed now, the snow meant my dr couldn't get to the surgery today so i had to cancel my appointment!! (hes sposed to live a mile up the road??)

anyway, we had some mega blizzards last night which left nearly 8 inches in most places but at its deepest up to 3 foot!!

This is how much fell last night (the table had been cleared) but this laid on top of the already settaled 5 inches of snow! mental! never seen so much snow in me life
