I really hope we have a decent snow fall Christmas Eve night Len.  The kids would love it.  I wish that we had the snow falls like we did when i was a kid.

Richie.
PS
It was MINUS 5 here last night.  Got up at 7am, went outside & started the car up to get it nice & warm, took dogs for a walk by the time i got back the car was de-iced and nice & warm.  Got to my mates house his van had the heater in over night but there was still ice on the windscreen.  He has a wooden bulk head that splits the cab from the rear of the van but normally the cab is warm....not this morning though.

No snow here in Cheshire.........yet. And hope we don't have any either, it can all stay in Walsall.

Have been taking the precaution of unloading the van of porty machine and detergents over the last few nights so they don't freeze. However left the hoses on the van last night as 'they'll be allright'. Whoops, arrived at job this morning with frozen hose ends. Won't make that mistake again.

Serious (for Stockport) snow here. Been snowing all morning. Looks like the Council has been caught out. (No surprise there then.)

Grew up in Glossop my first five years. Seemed like it snowed for months on end and up to your armpits. But that was in the days before global warming was dreamed up.

it all looks very nice when it has snowed but i couldn't work on friday, the hill i live on is an ice rink at the moment and it looks like tomorrow will be the same, cars are getting up the hill but my van is just too heavy so if you wish for snow remember it might stop you working

I managed to get a go on an official training skidpan many years ago.  There cars, oil and water on the concrete floor, great stuff, plus the benefit of an instructor to help you control the skid.
Just speaking to someone today who used to live in Sweden. She says after you pass the driving test you can buy an hours tuition on a skid pan, a variance of our pas plus I suppose.

An hour on the skid pan has far greater value than the pathetic Pass Plus which merely generates extra income for bad instructors who should have covered everything before the test.

In the far North we've had virtually no snow so far, some frost, but only the tiniest sprinkling of snow
