Aaaah, isn't it pretty.

Now do I need to risk it driving to work or shall I stay here and take the dogs out in the snow?

Right were's the leads.......

Default snow
Love The Snow!!

Got a call at 5 this morning from my boss telling me not to worry about coming in.

We got a bit of snow in Rainham but could still drive if I wanted to but he lives in the middle of nowhere in Hertfordshire and apparently thats not so clever.

Nearly 4 inches of the white stuff here, so far. Even the main roads are not exactly clear. So no work for us today.

Thank god for the switchable 4 wheel drive system on the Ranger!!

Loads of people struggling to get up and down the hills in Laindon this morning, no problem for the truck!

Our industrial estate is like an ice rink so back to 2WD mode and have a play

Supposed to be working in High Easter, i.e. last part of the journey is 3 miles of single track country lanes with ditches either side. and i'd be in the Trafic not the scoob. Not worth the risk.

My journey to work wasn't too dramatic in the Ranger. I've chucked a few extra sleepers in the back to get a bit more weight over the rear axle too!

Started to snow again here now.

It certainly does. Most of the roads around the process units aren't just clear of snow but most are completely dry! So much heat is generated by this place, you really notice it in this weather.
