IDGM Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Just a light covering here in Pennine Rochdale. However, I fear a repeat of last year when we couldn't get to the main road of our estate, so the Ibiza is carefully abandonned off piste.

JB1.0e Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 We had about 10mm at work, the local roads are stupidly slippy with numerous hills and bends to crash on (some already have) then just a sort of brown slush in the town. Its is still snowing intermittantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

electricpanda Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Snows really bad in Leeds. Not particularly deep but they've only gritted the main roads, normal streets are terrible. Plus I live on a very steep ungritted hill. I'm not looking forward to work at 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pro3mark Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Snows getting deeper here, still going strong too, on my Arosa it's up to the roof bars and easily up to the bottom of my bumper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polio Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Had a fair bit over leeds, its been mad over Wetherby way though, the train station is most fun though the hill getting out is not fun, too steep for a Punto Even though we have had our first casualty of the winter, mate of mines Corsa mashed into a kerb at about 15 mph, mangled a steelie Though, it was a good job the kerb was there, missed a massive lampost by inches Bad things aside, Drifty Drifty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
