well she had blankets and clothes.
obviously we should have conducted some testing prior to this event to make sure they would keep her warm enough in these circumstances
oh i must book some fridge time to test my coat before i go out later

3 feet of snow at the top of the hill she was on
she was more than prepared for a few inches....
but this was a complete freak, nobody (exept you) can prepare for these circumstances, and on the off chance something like this happens, it catches people out. end of story really

to be fair in this situation, it was pretty freak and extreme the way the news portrayed it, and the way it sounds like it came on judging by this thread
everybody takes these sort of issues for granted, if u spend your life preparing for the worst, you would never end up leaving the house. i live in birmingham, should i wear a stab vest upon leaving the premises?

ask ray mears
if you leave on foot, you should always carry enough food and water for a week,
enough clothes to keep you warm in -10 (must be fridge tested first so you know it keeps you warm)
some blankets,
i would recommend a tent,
some flairs
a blow up boat incase of floading,
a long wave radio.
some cash,
a hard hat incase you get hit in the head
some mining tools, incase you get stuck in a cave
and some rope incase you get stuck up a tree
some toilet paper
Then, and only then, can you walk to the shop

you're just being ridiculous because you're too proud to admit that i've got a point
it makes no difference if it was 3 inches of snow or 3 feet. i'm not contesting that it was a freak storm that you could not prepare for so as not to get stuck in it. you are advised to be prepared to spend the night in your car if necessary. it's hardly a difficult concept to understand is it?

yeah you have a point
never be unprepared for anything.
im just going to let the dog out in the garden...but.. the door might blow shut behind me, and we may have a snow storm,
not taking any chances

i have bought and trained a sheepdog
and bought a flock of sheep for said sheepdog to keep in tow en route to said pub
i also have a small chilean sheep shearer on standby, and enough wool in the flock to make coats for myself, and the tank crew
of course this is assuming theres no nuclear blast, as my dog, the sheep, and the chilean sheep shearer will all bite the dust
unless of course they bring tanks.....

just go to have my tea and come back to find some big man has called me a cunt
what provoked that kind of reaction? you must have some issues in your life to have such aggression. have you got a tiny penis hence the ironic username of massive?
sorry james, don't mean to sound harsh and it's nice to see your concern for your wife

Obviously this was not your normal bit of UK snow. I could be wrong but I don't believe 18 inches of snow has dropped in 6hours frequently in the last 20 years.
And its not as if she was screaming and being histerical while in this situation. Sounds like she kept calm and dealt with the situation as best she could.
So I don't understand what warrents all the negative comments.
Glad she is ok pal

To be honest fella you overeacted with your replies.If 200 people had exactly the same problem on the same stretch of road doesn't that tell you something?!

and if you are prepared for it, what is the big deal about getting stuck?

It was meant to read slightly owned, but my 12 year old ability to spell with out spell check fooked me up good an proper aye
you've still been owned, which translates in you making yourself look a cunt hence you being called one
(I'll get spell check again one day, then i can look down on others once again for there inability to spell correctly )

Nick, listen.
The fact that it was "blanket" (gedit) coverage of the London/SE weather was not sufficient warnings for the simple country folk of the SW. I reckon they all sat there laughing at the people from "that London" getting stuck, and no buses running.
for them.
And if you know it's treacherous, why go on a steep hill

dear lord... it was hardly snowing when she started the long climb up the hill....
it came on that fast
she isnt fooking stupid, if it was snowing that heavily, a) she wouldnt have gone out in the first place,
or B) she would have stayed at a mates house...
but the fact is, it wasnt snowing when she left... and within 1 min of starting to climb the hill, cars were stuck
and london had snow all week, we had ZERO, so why would we assume yesterday would be any different?

rich, thank fuck for that. someone else that gets it
it's nothing to do with your spelling mate. it's to do with using pathetic and american phrases that a 12 year old would use

Nick, you are coming across as a right cunt BUT I bet you've made a few people think twice about maybe leaving an extra coat or blanket or other supplies in a car, so its all good I reckon
