I lost control of my car at 5omph last night on the motorway
Just thought i'd say

Oh go on then, want to see a picture of the snow we got?  Well I'll show you anyway.

 

Poor Big_D lost control and ended up in a ditch on his way home from work yesterday.

Oh CINDS - very nice

Cinds! WB xx

Bloody hell you lot have had it worse than us soft southern jessies

Renton, did you crash?

Cinds

We got real snow! Away the the rest of yer big southern jessies!

Thanks and hello

We're considering a BBQ later

I slightly drited towards the centre line and gently corrected it
I started to drift - all 4 wheels - for about 3/4seconds, totally lost it
I thought  - "this is going sideways"
All i cud do was come off the gas and let if slow - no other cars to be seen thank God - no crash - but it was - hazards lights and 20mph
A REAL SCARE

Cinds, that looks so pretty! We have a fair bit of snow today, but not as picturesque as that. Renton - slow down, man, it's icy!

*** checks outside *** 

We snowed in again

Bloody hell Renton good thing there were no other cars about I'm so glad I'm not allowed to drive at the moment, cos otherwise I'd be out in it aswell.

Be careful out there young man.

I think you live quite close to us Renton, we spent hours clearing the drive today (by the way that was the royal we, I supervised from inside the house) only for it to be blocked again 3 hours later.

CINDS  - where abouts are you?

Just off the motorway near the airport turn off.

Mazzy told me she'd seen on the news we had waterspouts off the NE coast today, she'd seen it on the news.

That's these things

We have had snow here for about 3 weeks now and it has now turned to killer ice. It's like glass. My stepdad fell over in the park taking the kids sledging on Monday and has broken his wrist

Awww poor Stepdad

We've had it for that long too but it hasn't really gone icy, it's just snow on top of snow on top of snow,

OUCH poor stepdad Angelic.  We've had it here for 3 weeks too, it did turn to ice then more snow came on top of it, it was lethal out there on New Years eve, luckily I had very spiky boots on and just dug them in to the ice like a mountain climber.

here's our icicles...

Bluddy nightmare isn't it Leccy

It's safer not to venture out I think. At least I have a pram to hang onto I suppose

NO MORE BLIDDY SNOW STORIES


Cinds!! Welcome back missus...lovely to see you

OOOh Sheppy they look pretty

Good God! I'm proper sick of it now. (Nice to see you back too )

Thanks lovely I missed you, because, of course we haven't spoken at all during my....erm.... sabbatical

Thanks.  Jeez I'm not sick of it, I love love love it.  My boys school was closed today, we shut up shop too and had a snow day at home.

REPORTED!

and the road to my work a couple of days back, it's snowed a bit since then...



.
did you hear the thunder and lightning this morning leccy?

Looks like you spending a penny Leccy

Yes, I was stood on the back doorstep watching it like a nutter   The sky was going a really pretty bright blue, it was amazing.

It's  not my fault I have a bladder like a horse

*splutters*

Electric shepherd where abouts are you, love the picture.

My dogs had the good sense to wrap up warm when they went out today.  This is the boy, the girl hates it as she has finer fur and collects huge snow pompoms on her feet and legs. 

 

west durham cinds, up toward the hills.
i'm loving your wee dog my friends dog's so mollycoddled she wears pyjamas in bed FFS. and has her own side of a double bed with an electric blanket...

Blimey, just like a Northern summer?

I want to be your friends dog
