Anyone else having fun out in the snow?

[Red_Melons]

Not really - it's not much fun trying to keep my motorbike upright while banging my hands together to keep them warm, wiping snow off my visor, and waving my legs to get the snow out of my boots :-D

Bah, humbug to both of you :-P

This one guy yesterday stopped suddenly at some traffic lights and all the snow slid off his roof, so he used his wipers to get it off the windscreen, except that this just created a pile of snow in front of his front tyres.  Then when he tried to pull away in his (front wheel drive) car he couldn't and caused a huge queue on the roundabout behind.

It's not that deep up here yet, but it's been snowing on and off since 7ish last night :-D

No snow here,  a bit of a frost on the ground,  but that's about it.  (The windscreen on my car is not even frozen up)

[Vincent]

It's just turned very misty here :-D

[Doobrey]

Hardly a blizzard here like the news kept saying we were gonna get  :-(
At best it's about 2-3cm deep, at least Dumb&Dumber like playing in it (piccy link)

Oh great, here's my deja vu like chance to air my annual whining grievances about the complete lack of snow in Glasgow.

The last snow fall of any note here was exactly six years ago.
We had over a foot and it lay for a few days.
I bought a snowboard a few months later.
Hasn't f*cking snowed since.  :-(

Wilse...

Hurry up and SELL that board!!!! :-P

Can't you just borrow one?

[whabang]

Having fun in the snow? Not with that blizzard on the way. The government is advising people to stay home, and I think that's a good idea. :-D

@whatbang
 Sheesh, what do the government have against PPC boards?  :-D

I've just had to ride my motorcycle home. It was Ok on the A-roads and dual carriageways, but when I got to my local estate, the snow was compacted into sheet ice.

I got off and decided to push the bike home, but my feet couldn't get any grip and I couldn't get the bike to move without me falling over! Fortunately a guy saw me struggling and came out and helped me push it. Of course, it turned out he was a biker as well :-)
