Sort of funny for all the wrong reasons.

You're right it's damned scary, I've confirmed my car definitely does not have ABS and I am definitely not good at driving on an ice rink.

Drive safe everyone, with any luck a good foot or so will mean none of us will have to leave the house?

Really do feel for you Johnny with no side windows in that thing!

That is my worst fear Pete with the Omega. RWD + sheet ice (underneath) + freshly compacted & now ice ontop = bad. First fun is getting out of Manchester and then its going along the motorway where even the gritters were getting stuck. Glad you got home safe, even if it was hair raising!

I've been in touch with a chap who lives in Manc who also works with me..... I have a feeling we are both going to stay at home tomorrow. If I worked closer to the office I would whack the snow covers on and drive in, but 25 miles out We'll see.

My friend who lives about 7k away says it is snowing there, but there is nothing here! I think he is winding me up!

It sooo won't clear by the morning.. I'm praying it'll get worse.

On the other hand, I will probably join your walk (unless Bluewater shuts)

You would really (Feb 02 Focus for anyone wondering). Except there is no ABS light, the fuse for ABS is strangely absent, and it doesn't handle on snow/ice as I've heard it's meant to (no vibration to indicate it either).

Good inch or more of snow fell overnight, definiately a walking day. Be interesting to see how many people make it in.
