what a beautiful day so far, its a pity Ems is at work, be great to be out together

[Michael Parnham]

Been walking early this morning Graham and it was beautiful as the sun appeared

[grahamw48]

It's melting here now, but I did have a laugh at this pissed up bloke staggering home up the middle of the snow-covered road last night....with a queue of cars behind him.

what about all them poor drivers stuck on the M6, its a joke really, only in this country it seems

[grahamw48]

I think a lot of it is down to crap drivers, and selfish ones (that abandon their vehicles in the middle of the road for instance ).

It only takes one or two to screw it up for everyone.

I've been driving all over the country for a living for the past 40 odd years and never got stuck...when it has been worse than this.

[stevewool]

indeed all it takes is for the one driver to either go too slow or too fast ,

We've had rain overnight and the pavements are like ice-rinks

[raynaputi]

the sun's out here in Denbigh, shining so brightly..blue sky and no sign of snow or ice!

[Arthur Little]

here in Perth ... blue skies ... but still snow on the ground and

[Arthur Little]

... ashamed to say, I haven't been over the doorstep this week at all!

[Terpe]

No rain here yet but temperatures way above freezing and the snow is really melting away fast. Amazing how quickly it goes.

[Ako Si Jamie]

It felt a lot warmer when I went out earlier.

[Dedworth]

Dry, bright sunshine until half hour ago, 6 degrees. You can keep the snow/ice up north

[Terpe]

Looks like I can get back on the cycle route tomorrow.
Haven't been on my bike for week.

[imagine]

thawing here overnight and today

... "on yer bike", Peter! In the nicest possible sense of the phrase, of course!

Thanks Arthur, looks like i'll be in luck. Been raining for about 3 hours already, not so hard but enough to get rid of all the snow.
I was lucky that I bought some mudguards for my bike so I'll be off tomorrow regardless.
Loking forward to that.
I'll take a trip all around my local reservoir.

I'll need a good bath when I get back

[Ako Si Jamie]

Snow's gone from the grass. Just the hard icy pavements left.

[joebloggs]

my misses just left for work, 5 mins later shes just phoned me to tell me shes stuck going up a slip road with 2 other cars and late for work

the motorway agency people had to push my misses car 100+ meters up the sliproad, it was so bad she didn't go to work

and the car went , displaying run flat indicator, abs fault, dtc fault, brake fluid low

she called the AA this morning, he had seen the errors b4 on this model of car, he drove the car 200 meters and all the errors went away

[grahamw48]

There's warning lights on all over the place on my boy's Punto.

I just ignore them and make sure it has plenty of oil and water in it.

Runs perfectly and sailed through its last MOT.

Silly computerised things.

[Ako Si Jamie]

Snowing here now, again. Wasn't forecast till tomorrow.

Snowing here now, again. Wasn't forecast till tomorrow.

We had a couple of hours too. Big flakes but didn't settle at all.
Hopefully we'll miss the forecast shedload tomorrow

[grahamw48]

I'll be doing my shopping this afternoon then putting the car away.

Sounds like my poor stepdaughter is going to be up to her neck in it in New York though.

It didn't last long here either.
