Default Snow update (update, gritter now stuck (pic) )

Posted yesterday pics of the 3door after i couldnt get it out the drive to go to work.

Well it aint stopped with most roads around me closing and my Village to a stand still.

Im stuck in and running out of food fast and the snow aint stopping, in last hour it has left another good 6inch.

Pics dont show how bad it is

Just had a heavy snow shower here (Heathrow area) but gone now. Should have seen the look on my cats face as he came hurtling through the catflap - he's never seen snow before let alone come in looking like he's been involved in a ski-ing accident

Well boys you had better get your snow boots out and walk to the nearest shop to stock up on food cause that don't look like it's going to stop for the next couple of days.

I hope we get some snow like that
