What a night it has been ! Got home from Cambridge to snow and a lot of it !! Chip was on his way to our's from Kent to drop the trailer back to us, he got to the point where the roads got too bad for his car to drag the trailer, so we went out to rescue him, glad we had the Jeep


This is what most of the main roads are like round by us

There's about 4 inches in Barking and it's still coming down. I just opened the car door without clearing the snow first and it all fell in DOH

Even TFL has cancelled all london buses for today

The carpark outside my house should be fun later:

The underground has severe delays, and all buses have been withdrawn...
Not looking good out there, and the snow is still falling heavy in North London.

Good one on the GMTV weather report this morning, if anyone caught it?

Weather girl said "there will be a foot of snow here, and 12 inches elsewhere" Lol

Gotta love the way they report it in the worst possible way too, just to make sure you're terrified by a couple of inches of snow. Fucking softies!

absolutely fucking pissing myself here, some young lad on his mx lookalikey 125 did so well all the way down my road, nice and slow, got to the corner and binned it and slid into a parked car...

I went to see if he was alright but soon as i got to him i just creased up with laughter, he saw the funny side though and we picked his bike up and he went very very slowly on his way..
