it's been snowing today, we have about 2-4 cms that have stuck. Hopefully will melt by tomorrow morning, can't be jiggered with the messing around driving with all the muppets again.

Yep it took over an hour and a half last night to get into manc. Every way in was stationary, m56, m60, m62, m6 and even the back roads! They were saying on the radio that essentially manc has had it last night

I'm waiting till after the rush hour before I leave my flat, I really cba with the prats. One of which was my manager last night, who thought that dumping the clutch would get the car moving on sheet ice. Eventually I had to help them as they were too thick to help themselves. 2nd gear, gently raising the clutch... pulled away first time. You'd think after the 3-4week freeze they would have a clue by now.

Pretty much all gone now Zirax, boss just drove in from Sale>Liverpool, said the M-way network is pretty clear. Our run in was slushy and a bit icy, but nothing to write home about.

We had a quick blizzard last night that left about an inch, but thankfully we didn't have a repeat of the weekend where it went crazy over night It's pretty much gone now and hope it stays that way!!
