I can't believe no one helped you Pebs :/

Hmm it's gone very shiny and crunchy out there! Keep thinking cars on the road are aircraft because of the noise they are making. Doesn't help that the F15's are out tonight too, they must have defrosted the runways.

Was that in Brentwood, Pebs?

It took us an hour to get from the office down by the station out through Shenfield to the A12, it was just solid getting up the hill. I was with a friend in his BMW and the back end was all over the place even in high gear at low revs just trying to move. A colleague who has an RX8 ended up leaving his car in the office and getting a train home.

Once we got to the A12 it was empty and we did 70 all the way to Colchester - It was quieter than I've seen it at weekends and so was Colchester town centre. Once we got to Colchester I phoned another friend who left the office at the same time we did going to Romford and he'd not even got as far as the Brook Street roundabout!

I had to do a job in the middle of nowhere near Billericay this avo. On the way back I found myself on a steep hill ending at a T-junction that was complete ice.

Glad noone was coming from either direction as I had zero chance of stopping

Snow in Wigan was terrible today, it snowed in the night and this morning it was 3 inch deep and took me 1 hour to make a 20 min journey.

Took me 4 hours to get home last night!!!

I live 6.24miles away from work, which is about 11mins according to Multimap lol!

the snow has not been to bad in Sheffield for us pedestrians. although i have to say the walk from the train station to the pub, then home yesterday was a little treacherous!

Hmmmm currently in services just before the A74(M) its taken me 2 and a bit hours to travel the length of the 702 (lets say about 35 miles...). Only another 150ish to go!

Mental doesn't even begin to describe the roads out there!!
