Big 'D' Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Hi all Just incase you have not seen the weather forecast yet it is for very heavy snow from tonight then over the next few days, most of the country is forecast to be hit with the South East being hit worst including the Thames Valley area, so if you really, really have to drive to work tomorrow or tonight please be very careful. But then again they could have got the forecast all wrong, and got my hopes up for nothing yet again, I love the snow Cheers Iain
andyjudge Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Me Too I love the snow. Hopefully sledgeing is on the menu for tomorrow No work for me as currently between jobs & on gardening leave
zebedee Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 I'm at work in Farnborough all night, I hope I don't get snowed in here, that would really suck

andyjudge Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 It snowed here for about 15mins a bit earlier Just looked on Met Office Eta for Benson (Nearest Met Office Post for Thatcham) is 03:00 Fingers crossed
andyjudge Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 SNOW - About 4-5cm (looking through the windows) & still snowing
scoobywag Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 just took the car out to get the papers what fun
andyjudge Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 God some people don't know how to drive. Saw 4 cars plough into kerbs just walking my daughter to school this morning, people don't seem to know that this white stuff is slippy & you need to slow down. Scoob's now as far up our drive as I can get it as the people living in the road opposite see to think its an excuse to see how much wheelspin they can pulling out from the junction.
stum450n Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Was fun getting into work through the lanes this morning!!!! Getting thick here now the big tracks I left in the farm track up to the office are covered, kinda wishing I had stayed at home tbh! Tempted to take the scoob out across the fields at lunch though!
stum450n Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 oops! just had a ticking off for my driving around the carpark this morning!!! alegedly they expect better from their managers lol!!! Ha ha ha! So it's not just me then! Just had the farm hands out clearing the roads here, apparently that's down to my sideways entry to the carpark!
zebedee Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 I tried to drive to work tonight, gave up after having a big moment! I wasn't going fast at all, but lost rear traction and the back snapped round, ended up facing wrong way on wrong side of road but at least managed to at least hold the car on the road and didn't hit anything, but it was a close call So please be careful if you have to drive in that white stuff......
Big 'D' Posted February 8, 2009 Author Posted February 8, 2009 Hi guys Just drove back from Witney to Carterton (7 miles) in the snow, I left Witney with no lying snow and arrived in Carterton to between 1 + 2 inches on snow which has fallen onto wet roads, please be very, very careful if out and about as the snow is packing into ice on the wet unsalted roads and is very, very slippy. Cheers Iain
andyjudge Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Don't ya just love this winter, the snow due tonight has no been changed to heavy rain for for & wait for it - A risk of localised flooding. Then the rain stops & we then get heavy snow & freezing temps again on Monday night.
