Snow! - Page 27

Ah, well I've checked the cameras on the motorways and the M56 seems unusually clear. I think it is just the side roads that have had it. From looking at the images of the road I'm going to give it a go.

Spent about an hour clearing the snow off the car at which point it started snowing heavily again. I do have snow socks for the motor but my view is they are emergency equipment to get me home, not routine getting to work

The snow was as deep as my hand (about 15cm) at a guess. This puts it just below the front splitter on the Omega. When it started coming down thick again I said sod it and I now have a nice cuppa after chatting with the neighbours. None of the others in the office made it in from Manc so I do feel better for that.

Word of warning, another 10-12cm expected in Manc tonight. Very little chance of me getting in tomorrow either

ITS SNOWING!!!
Its our first proper snow here!
We've had ice, we've had sleet....now we have snow!

We still have about a foot of snow, had a covering since before christmas. I'm sick of snow now.

still coming down here, I've never seen snow like it here before. This was an hour ago so you can imagine what it was like at 7.15 this morning.

Got about 1cm here (story of my life

). Sky is full of it. Just wish it'd come down.

You want this bit of verge on the roadside then... about a foot deep and untouched!

When I woke up this morning there was about 2 inches of snow on the ground at home and it was snowing. On the drive to work the falling snow got lighter and lighter. When I got about 5 miles from the office it stopped completely and there has been no snow at all at the office.
