Re: The Big Freeze
I have de-icer and screen wash in the car... as well as a sleeping bag, foil blanket/fleece, tyre compressor and some wood wax from Oak Furniture Land - I guess I can eat that?

Re: The Big Freeze
It's been snowing in London but not too much at the moment. Hopefully it's not too bad Wednesday onwards as thats when we are making our way back to France.

Re: The Big Freeze
Yep, been going through my track box as supposed to be on track at bedford on Friday. A gentle drive up on Thursday, chilled evening digging out old people and rescuing puppies, listening to snowflakes moaning that their beards are freezing and their skinny jeans aren't warm despite having numerous holes to allow heat in and laughing.
I'm thinking it's going to be snowball fights in the pit Lane over throttle play time.
It's cold, be sensible, wrap up if going out and keep hydrated.
If you get stuck, don't flu the snow, wait for it to melt in your cup. Always eat the fattest member of your group first as it'll Last longer and be more tender when cooked.

Re: The Big Freeze
I live on the East Coast and our shops are already devoid of bread, it’s the end of the World as we know it, we’ll just have to wait until Dennis Quaid comes for us.
I’ll be burning Daily Mails to keep warm until then, there’s no shortage of those.

Re: The Big Freeze
We have nearly a foot of snow here, not had anything like this for about 8 years. Weird though coz I know 30 miles up the road has nothing at all,
Still currently snowing, hasn't stopped since about 7 last night, meant to stop for a bit this afternoon but then start again tonight all night again.
I'm working from home.....

Remember: If in Doubt use Full Throttle, It may not make the situation any better, But it will end the suspense...

Re: The Big Freeze
Few flurries here and there in London, but nowhere near enough to settle.

Re: The Big Freeze
I learned yesterday that most rail operators wish to keep their trains running, it's only when they are forced to shut down services they actually get paid. If they choose to stop a service they get no money.
Also, -3 here this morning and snow on and off but not enough to cover the lawns here

Re: The Big Freeze
Theres been a few flurries in Doncaster but nothing has settled and the forecast has changed, looks like we're going to get a light dusting.
