the way its snowing here, i reckon id have to be on foot to even get out of the village

never seen it like this before

 

its rain, snow,rain,snow, i cant even stand up on the road outside,

ots like a fookin ice ring,


good news.

i work in exeter

DAY OFF FOR ME TOMORROW

 

If its like I was stuck in the other night the visibily will be fucking awful too, not to mention the fact you wont be able to see the terrain you are walking on, it was such big flakes that it got deep very quickly, but when you put your foot down you sink straight through it, you'll be falling on your arse non stop the whole way there.

 

Seriously mate, dont even consider walking 10 miles in those conditions, you'll be good to no one by the time she gets home and needs someone.

Fucking hard to just sit there and do nothing when its someone you love, but you have to be sensible about the conditions and the lack of progress you will realistically make in it.

 

yeah its like that here,

 

lol, i just text her, to ask if she can get some milk on the way home, as we are nearly out with all the warm coffee im drinking

 

niks gunna kick your ass when she gets home!! im off mate as laptops going to go flat, my phones on though so if things change then just ring ang we'll wing it. nath.

 

ohh, the reply wasnt to nice

 

cheers buddy

 

Same here, i live just outside Taunton and work next to the airport so looks like i'll be snowed in tomorrow

It took me 35mins just to drive a few miles home from the pub tonight I feel sorry for anyone stuck inside their car in these conditions

 

On the news up here too

Looks like the services are on the scene if its the same place

As per Chip, dont try walking it!

 

Not exactly easy access to where she is.

15.2 miles from me

 

Anyone who thinks you stand a chance of doing that in these conditions hasnt a fucking clue IMHO and is just encouraging you to do something stupid and potentially dangerous.

 

poor nik, hope she is alright mate

 

Agreed, 15 miles in seriously deep snow and bad visibilty, you will be lucky to average 1mph at best. So if you do make it there it will be the middle of the afternoon by which point she will have made it back home worrying about where you are!

I know people will do anything for someone they love, but think about how she will feel when your found frozen to death in feet of snow.

Give it an hour or so and she'll be rescued

 

the rescue team have spoken to her,

they plan to drag all the cars out one by one

i wonder what will be left of the car after there done

 

Must be a big releif to her now that she has spoken to them, at least she now knows if anything urgent happens she has someone on hand to help.

Just a case of sitting tight for now.

Glad to hear she has had some progress

 

has she had a piss yet?

 

shes just being towed out of the snow,

she said at the top of the hill the snow is 3 FEET deep

the hall is full,

so she said they may tow her out so she can some home

 

That's great news fella!!!

3ft?!!!! ....

 

good news mate!!

 

did she remember the milk ?

 

i stopped reading at this point

him treking all that way to help her would be putting himself at risk, and watching it on the news this morning, there was a fuckload of snow and if he got stuck in it, then who would find him?

it's fine to say "be a hero" but it's not always the case

in any case, i read further in the reply screen and she's been rescued so to the snow helper peole out there who got them people out

 

Has Nik got home yet ????????????????

Hope all is well

Steve.

 

she's probably in that church waiting to get onto the telly news bullietins, they said that the majority of the people rescused would be staying there

bbc news that is

quickly text her to write a witty slogan on a sheet and wave it about

 

I hope Nik is home safe now, what a night that must have been for her.

 

Hope all is ok this morning!

 

Im home. The police pulled me out at 2.30am this morning and it took another hour to get home. I have never been so cold and yes I did go for a wee!!!!!!!

I didnt hear from the emergency services until 2.15am, it was really worrying. The chap in the post van behind me kept checking to see if I was alright. The car in front of me had a small child with them. I was meant to go to the hall over night but it was sooooo packed that they asked me to slowly make my way home.

I was glad I had a blanket to keep me warm. I think it has taught me that I need to do an advanced driving course and learn how to drive properly in such conditions.

Thanks to James for his phonecalls and texts, it showed me that he may actually like me and they certainly kept me going. Thanks for this post, it cheered me up this morning.

 

Glad you are home. What a nasty situation to find yourself in. Hope we get more snow in the south east soon

 

Glad you got home ok.

 

glad you got home ok in the end

 

Glad you are ok.

 

Glad to hear you are home and safe

 

Glad your okay

 

she forgot the milk though

 

glad to hear that you had a blanket but what about all the other stuff that the emergency services recommend you carry in those conditions? flask of hot drink, gloves, hat, scarf, warm clothes etc? not as if we haven't had enough warning is it?

 

What a trerrible position to be in!

 

Good to here your home, had us worried there for a while

Steve

 

what conditions exactly?

untill 10mins before she was stuck we had NO SNOW, or ANY SIGNS OF SNOW IN THIS AREA

otherwise do you seriously think she would have travelled?

it had been raining all day.


had we have been aware of the pending snow storm, i would have popped out and hired her a uni-mog
