Watching the news I can see why!

I'm worried because I have a funeral to drive to in Bath (from Plymouth) on Thursday evening for Friday morning :sad:

Hope the weather eases enough by then.

Snow here in Swansea too. (Not much, but that generally means cars will be abandoned at the side of the road...they don't cope with snow very well here)

Yeah. Hardly a thing in Copenhagen, but extremely cold, snow pouring down in Roskilde and 5-10 cm snow in Slagelse? Weird, only 100 km apart :blink:

We're currently snowed in. No roads are open out of the village (it's too hilly), it's 28cm here and still snowing like mad. All-in-all makes me wish I'd kept my landrover  :rolleyes:

I'm only joshing. I quite like Caterham and spent many years living there they also make some damned fun cars. Croydon's also fine (Especially if you're bypassing it on a train on the way to Town :thumbsup2:)

Landrover - sold it last year unfortunately. Too much to run / too costly for the repairs and made the kids vom. Apart from that it was cracking. :roflmao:

Well well well.

University has closed for the day due to the snow. I woke up, EARLY, in order to go in, went in, did as much work as I could and they sent me home. Do you think I can demand a days refund, I'm paying a lot of money to have fun in the snow. But what makes it worse is the snow has basically disappeared already.
