We've had shit loads in North Yorkshire, I've never known it so bad! I even had to abandon me motor on the way in to work! Here's a couple of pics from earlier....

Just to give an idea of depth, at around 8 this morning, and it was still snowing!



A couple when I was out and about....




And me BM after I'd dug her out and driven it home....

All rural deliveries were suspended today bud, so I was just out doing special deliverys!

I cleared all the snow off our drive and a fella walking past with a dog said not to bother, we're gonna get even more tonight! Could be fun.....

well,a plough and a gritter just gone past,the plough wasnt ploughing and the gritter wasnt gritting,think they were deciding whetha it was bad enough or not,or just riding roung wasting diesel,main rds are clear now but only cos the diehards have been driving and mushing it up,fuck all to do with the council or gritters,was like a ghost town when i went out this morning,even the local haulage firms hadnt bothered.
