Brace yourself for snow...

[Ash1711]

As of Sunday 13th the whole country will be under snow for 3 weeks according to this...
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/uk-weather-snow-ice-and-subzero-1527009

What are your thoughts? Does it ruin any plans etc?

It doesn't affect me too much as work and shops are only a 5 min walk from my house - hopefully it stops my boss from getting to work though :A:

[jones91]

I drive a van for a living so i can imagine it will make my job interesting :p

[Prickle]

Ah ffs. Means i'll freeze even more when im at work on nightshift if the fryer is off. :( :(

dad wont be too pleased as he has to travel to work. I only have 3 miles to drive so not as bad.

[Jizanthapus]

Same, and I live nowhere near work. Hate the stuff when it hangs around for ages.

[Cam]

I hope not, i drive 21 miles to work in dark lanes to my bodykitted saxo does not get on well with the snow :wacko:

Edit: Last year

:homme:

[KamRacing]

I ride a pedal bike to work - could get interesting

[Aly]

I've got these:

http://www.goodyear.eu/uk_en/images/ultragrip8-hero_tcm2077-111839.png

Not had a proper chance to test them out to see what they're like but they were decent so don't think I'll get stuck too much, bring it on!

[Ryan]

I'm in Berlin th weekend so i imagine flying back might be interesting.

Could have done with the snow the last 3 weeks tbh as opposed to when I go back to work on the 25th.

[GolfJay]

Good time for the Golf to be broken. It'd be going nowhere if it is as bad as they reckon it'll be!

[MuZiZZle]

I drive a 3 series, I just turn the traction control off and get on with it

[dondan]

Ugh a bit snow and all the idiots seem to congregate into a mass panic, hopefully it will just rain- which is most likely I'd bet rather than this far fetched pile.

[MartinObviously]

Aaaaaaaaaaand my heating system has broken down.

My 13" steels with winter tyres don't fit over my brakes ;_;

[Oli-VTR]

drive for a living, could be fun!

[MrHouston]

Been thick fog here for 2 days and freezing. Awaiting snow... Only thing i'll be gutted about is not being able to run/cycle if it's icy. But I guess that's when the gym will come in handy.

Didn't drive at all (unless I absolutely had to) last year, not worth the risk of damage. More from other drivers going to fast and crashing into you! Least I bought 2 new tyres last week...

[Jazz]

I drive twisty country lanes every day to work and right now I'm in a high-powered RWD vehicle with budget tyres (last owner's fault, I haven't got round to fitting my PS2s yet).

It will be a miracle I don't crash/somebody crashes into me tbh...

[Aly]

fixed it for you ;)

hahaha Martin mine do :P

[MuZiZZle]

Not happened to me yet :homme:

[MartinObviously]

hahaha Martin mine do :P

Broke the bleed nipples on the standard brakes :(

Snow probably won't come to much, tbh I'd rather it snowed than got icy.

Get them fitted then Jazzle.

No time to lose

[DAMSK11]

Doubtful.

[craig180]

Well, according to every weather site I've looked on, my home town and workplace are both free from snow for the next 10 days.

Gonna be bloody cold though :snowman2:

[W103_A5H]

I hope it stays away tbh! The roads I have to take to work, well one of them usually gets closed when it snows heavy and to go another route would be a treck and a half! Plus with me working nights I don't perticually want to be driving home at 5am in the snow while its dark! I do 70miles a day (35each way) and if I can't get to work, that means I won't get paid and I can't pay my bills.

So snow, please stay the fuck away! :A:

[craig180]

I like driving in snow because all the spackers either crash, therefore aren't moving or stay at home, meaning I can practice being ken block.

Either that or I stay at home and work from there

[AdamB]

Rear wheel drive and automatic :(
Was interesting with just a sprinkling

[Gandi699]

How many threads coming up soon entitled: "HALP! Me Enjinz frozen cuz I jus yoozed water!"

I lolled at spackers! top word! :y:

[Yamaha318]

The mk2 escort quite likes the snow.. :D

[sexy_gt]

Booking track time in advance can be a pisser :(

[jasonmayall]

Shall be insuring myself on the scooby as I dont fancy walking to work!
Head gaskets gone on my car - So will be interesting fixing that in the snow. :(

Saying that, I'm in the midlands - We never get it bad :)

They're looking a bit bald pal, you might want to consider a new set before you get pulled with having no tread!

[tomsmarty]

That set cost me enough, have to get a mortgage for another.

[Jazz]

Whats your number dude?

When my convertible is in a ditch I'll give you a ring :y:

[jasonmayall]

Haha, Going on the saxo yeah?

[tomsmarty]

If you want my number you don't need to make up an excuse to ask :homme:

Think I could make a decent bit of money pulling people out if we get a decent amount of snow this year.

Haha, Going on the saxo yeah?

Of course.

Holyfuck you win :fcuk:

[admad]

Hope it don't im in army basic training as of the 20th. Fuck sleeping under the stars in the snow!

[Oli_K]

I hope so, could do with a couple of week off work!

[OllieVigar]

I'm stumped, my cars filthy and i noticed some birds left me a few bombs to clear up. Willingly i went to go and grab a bucket and clear, polish and wax her, then i heard about the snow.

What would you guys do? Wash your can even though it's forecast rain and snow etc or wait for it all to stop before you give it a clean. Like the phrase has been used before on here, It's like taking a shower and have a shit after.

Dw the bird bombs will be off the car by morning.

[D1zzyman]

i pray that it snows hard for me, got an exam at uni on monday. i can sledge to work so its all cool.

[blackie_2k5]

Ill just get stuck in the car park behind my house again lol

Days off work ftw

[L33h]

Ill park the van at the bottom of the hill outside my house haha

[stupotvtr]

The bm won't be moving if the snow comes. No point in trying to move then getting stuck nowhere near my house and blocking the road for people that have fwd,4x4 etc.

Also chances of somebody hitting into you are higher, not worth the risk imo

[McGuire86]

Wont be snowing here :A:

[deano_123]

tonights snow in iraq

[wicked-vtr]

RWD, turbo powaz and no traction control/abs here. Il still go out cause im a drift god.

Not that fussed really, i like the snow and if its bad its a excuse not to go to work.

[Rogue_Shadow]

Snow again ...
I'll just ditch the van then start walking to jobs :drink:

dirt is the new clean.

havent cleaned the clio for 5 months. be reet.


on the snow side, as long as its snowy on my days off i dont give two fucks. however driving from leeds to york and back could get sketchy.

[Gordzilla]

Can't wait

[Manu]

under snow for 3 weeks according to

Yeah right, the tabloids pull the snowmageddon card every year. More like 3 days over here.


That said, the potholes reappeared everywhere and much much worse than ever before with all the rain. Some snow is not going to help at all, and I'm more worried about that.

[Jay_]

I drive for a living. See just how sideways I can get a works van :y:

But, it's more than likely going to be a case of UK gets snow, we get rain and fucking cold.

[EwynSaxo]

I live on the side of a mountain so if I go to work in the van I wont be able to get back up the hills :/

[Manu]

in before "crashed because of snow" threads and Tcut jokes.

[Brettles1986]

"The big freeze is set to last about three weeks, with up to four inches of snow expected in the next seven days."

Shit me best get the pick axe out

[Gandi699]

up to 4 inches. so most likely FA

[devilsadvocate]

Working overtime this weekend so couldn't care less if it snows.

I doubt it will to be honest.

[jasonmayall]

Checked the weather, No snow for me apparently.
That usually means We'll get more than the rest of the country though.

[L33h]

I think its hilarious when people down south get 2mm of snow and it all comes to a standstill

[DreamEater]

I can't wait for it to snow.

I've had snow tyres on the Saab since the day before we had that 1 day blip of snow. So I'd like a bit of use out of them...

[Lionsden]

I don't think it'll be as bad as everyone is saying, but I hope it is!

[Dany4494]

Not gonna happen never does.

[Carl-h]

Hopefully it'll get pretty bad so no one can get to work and I can pick them up in the disco. Getting paid to have fun in the snow!

[davidharvey]

Hopefully it'll get pretty bad so no one can get to work and I can pick them up at the school disco.
Isn't that where Jimmy Saville's toubles started?

[Gandi699]

I'm a land rover show over the weekend so I actually hope it does snow might be fun. maybe that'll shut the media up with the constant speculation too

[craig180]

I hope in our lifetimes we get to see worse snow than we had 2 years ago. That was simply epic with the entire country at pretty much a complete standstill.

I still managed to get to work every day after doing the rounds and picking mongs up on the way in.

[Gandi699]

I managed to get to work on near bald summer tyres every day. People just want an excuse not to turn up

That looks epic. Also looks like a call of duty map :fcuk:

[wicked-vtr]

I work at heathrow and last night they cracked open the snowploughs, where gritting fucking everything in sight and doing drills for clearing the runway so seem to be taking it seriously.

Mind you the one time they didn't and it snowed the papers went mad lol

[12u55]

URRRRH my gawwwd. Snow. Our lives are over. Chuckled. I pulled someone out of a ditch the other morning cos they came off on the moor road. It was icy at 6am still with the fog.

'Hmmm, my steering feels light, ooh, my steering wheel goes left and right full lock without my changing direction, *hits traction* spears off the road. '
My tow rope has got a habit of getting people out of bother.

[Manu]

Keep your eyes peeled for a beached yellow E36

I'm meant to be going Birmingham Tuesday to go do traing for my new job :/ lol

[jonathon5]

Cant wait for the snow.

Only seen some for 1 day 6 weeks ago

That was a photoshop assembly of many pictures. You definitely don't fancy an ice age :D

[craig180]

I hate to beak this to you but we are still in an ice age.

While there are still polar caps its still technically an ice age

[griff_106]

I can't be arsed with snow - there's a few flurries down my end floating about at present.

And everything grinds to a halt and no sod can get anywhere without sliding all over the place.

And it's cold. I don't like being cold.

[knight-22]

Why's that, so you can go out and buy a proper 4x4? ;)

Sliding about is fun. Snow drift y0!

[griff_106]

Maybe so mate but I don't trust the other morons out on the road that don't know left from right and just stab on the pedals in a panic. If it snows, I'll be leaving the car at home - you know how much I love that thing so I'm not risking her.. not worth it IMO

[L33h]

This is what it was like up here 2 year ago. Propper snow unlike all your southern inch worth

Bright sun shine here lol

[nicole_]

Bright sun shine here lol

Ditto. Been brilliant sunshine and clear skies the whole way from Newcastle to York this morning on the train. Can't see any sign of snow :D

[AlexB]

bright sun and dry
im gonna put my r888s back on fuck this....

ran ao48s in the snow last year anyway

[12u55]

Nottingham has had the lightest dusting ever. Still enough for me to pull handbrake turns and be a general prat in an empty car park.
It's a learning curve imo. ;)

[Dany4494]

Mad snow storm here.
