i always look forward to a bit of snow and freezing weather,do you think we will get any snow now or is it to late?

Tidgy

speaking of which, what happened to that massive amount of snow old pissy pete predicted for the 12th of feb? hahahahaha

dpb

Yep, frosty nights all the way to September

April.

Yup, he seems to have gone very quiet - just like he did when he claimed that he had "The OLDEST Mobile Phone Here".

At least he is predictable

It's supposed to get colder next week.

I predict that it'll snow the day after I take my winter tyres off.

Turbohot

And he's able to give near enough predictions. We, in North Wales, did have snow around 12th, if not on 12th itself. He's a Scoobynet God, really.

dpb

Yeah. , except he lives in Basingstoke!

Turbohot

Thanks for pointing out another similarity to God.

God lives in heaven.

Cooling off slowly over the next 10 days - probably not quite cold enough for snow at lower levels but hill snow is likely from middle of next week into second week of March.

Turbohot

Oh. That's alright, then. Less travel for me due to half term here this coming week, anyway.

It has been windy as hell here, though. Hope we continue to stand strong than gone with the wind. Garden fence's destiny is another matter.

Two words: (nearly) DRY ROADS!!!! At last!!!

Quite snowy for me last week in the Italian Alps



Drove back yesterday 7 countries in one day - 900 miles with wife and kids in the car (8 up in all) and all the skis and snowboards

Gotta love these Landcruisers, no other car could have done it

(about 376 ltrs of fuel though)

Turbohot

Christ, that looks grim.

I don't mean to say that it was grim for you guys, instead I'm sure it was perfect for your purpose. Bet it was fun for you all. Landcruiser is dog's bollocks, fair play. Love to have one, but can't justify the cost of fuel in this one-week wonder snow country.

hodgy0_2

Oh, not that grim - believe me

Turbohot

WOW, this is beauty! All what's missing from this picture is a glorious polar bear.

I hope that was there and back one way it works out at just shy of 11mpg, 21mpg and a bit if it was each way, still a fahooking big bill, mind you 8 of you going on a plane and renting 2 cars when you get there I suppose it's still cheap at twice the price.

Beg to differ on the no other car, my Isuzu Trooper 3.1D has done it for years and 30mpg too.

hodgy0_2

Yeah, both ways - 1800 miles approx. 23 mpg

Does the trooper seat 8 though?

No mine is a SWB as I wanted better off road capability and 99% of the time there's only me in it, but I think the long wheel base does, my old Mazda bongo 4x4 did too but that was bloody slow, the trooper will happily sit at 90mph for 1200 miles, even with a 4 berth caravan on the back.

Glad I got a refund on my cr4p Winter tyres!
