Bloody hell woke up and we have had major snow
all this technology and they did not predict that did they

 

yes what a suprise and its going for it right now too. they predicted rain in the night yesterday and sunshine all day lol

 

no snow atall here just the odd snowman thats commited suicide!

 

Well, all our work has been cancelled today so I'm at home doing quotes... Oh the joys of self employment!!!

 

must have had a good 4/5 inches of snow again overnight 3.30 this morning it was coming down like hell .beginning to thaw now

 

Only managed two days in work this week hoping to get in today got up at 6 jumped in the shogun and made my way to the a470 got to the sennybridge and got turned back by the rozzers saying road closed I explained that snow was no prob as my truck was equiped with maxis mudders go anywhere they still would not let me go to work I told him I could put a rope to his panda car and he could leave it in gear with the hand brake on and I would still get over the beacons draging his car behind oh well sledging on the cards today

 

its brilliant, as i work in brecon a470 shut, result, worked 1 day this week. good thing, as im nursing a wild cold.

 

Still running on pure tarmac here Richie !!

 

Ebbw Vale was a bit of a mission in the truck today. One of our artics got stuck turning around on Cwm Draw ind. estate on the way to the dairy. I used different tactics and managed to get in. The next hour involved a lot of shoveling and unhitching my tractor unit from the trailer to go and pull him out, much to the amusment of passers by. With the assistance of some chains, a bit of patience and the two trucks pulling together we got him out Top of Dowlais was a pain with everybody getting stuck trying to drive up towards Peacocks too. All part of the fun!

 

Cefn coed was quite bad this morning but made it into work, but then had to go back out to try and pick one bloke from the gurnos and then another from bedlinog..... The scooby never missed a beat or put a wheel wrong !
{plus they gave me too much petrol money for doing it ! )

BTW more to come this weekend it looks like !

 

I've worked one day this week, coupled with petrol saving costs I'm probably on a winner.

 

noooooooooooo not more had to take a bank holiday today cause the kids have been off school all week,seen some of the worst trauma ever in my career this week had to run and get a fredo to stop me fainting

I've put my x-trail through its paces this week thats for sure, got through some serious snow this morning without any drama not a huge fan of ABS in the snow otherwise it ticked all the boxes.
Want it all to go away now though

 

Well I've just come back from Dowlais Top after having a callout for a broken down tractor unit and it is certainly entertaining going up past Peacocks and around the back to the meat processing factory.

Some idiot in an mk4 escort decided that he was a rally star and tried to go around the roundabout sideways but lost the front end and whacked the kerb, what a the muppet he should learn to drive properly.

Coming back down the m4 the snow was coming down heavily around Swansea and it looks like it is heading east, not looking forward to the weekend as I am on call till Monday and have to be in work tomorrow from 6am.

 

I heard the rumour that there's another 4" planned for tonight.

 

that wont impress my missus , she's used to more than that

Looks like i'll have to jetwash the rally car off after the weekend and use that for the next couple if days

 

Good man
The rain is starting to turn to snow and looks like they have the right call this time

 

There would've been some serious snow today if it had been cold enough.
