Basingstoke. Snow capital of England





One nights worth of snow, and it hasn't stopped yet today. I bought one of those plastic snow shovels on eBay just after the last snow fall before Xmas. Best thing ever! MY12 RRSport 3.0 SDV6 Autobiography

Wokkaman, I haven't venture out as yet, been working from home. Both the Kids and Wife here too though! Neutral

I keep clearing my driveway as before Xmas two of my neighbours parked their car on their drives, on the snow, and their cars slid down their driveways into the street. We live a cul-d-sac but I don't fancy 3 tons slipping down and across the road Embarassed

Just got back from venturing up the track and unbelievably the stupid gritters have decided to plough all the snow into my track Censored ......a 5ft wall of solid snow completely across the driveway Evil or Very Mad

My conversation with the council was rather short shall we say. Luckily I have another access track so all is not lost.

What is the definitive on the snow chains? My manual says no larger than 19" wheels. I could really do with a set as we dont get gritters in the fields and roads around here.......aside from this morning obviously Rolling Eyes

As good as the RRS is with the amount just dumped it is struggling on the virgin stuff but hey it is around 2 foot!! L322 Big Daddy SUPERCHARGED 5.0 Autobiography - Here & Now!

But I've broken quite a lot of toys in my time.....
