coming back from picking my mrs up earlier there were cars dumped all over the roads.there was a boxster attempting to get up a slight incline on a main rd going over the motorway but there was no way it was getting up,so that was also stuck next to about 5 other cars.
i just got in the lane that was still 6" deep in snow and drove past.i was going to offer to help them bet there were a few blokes there helping dig/push them along.
as said we never get this snow so took a couple of pics;
my little girl
the view from my street;
house;we took the snow off the walls to make snowman;
dog doesnt like it!
school across road-closed until further notice!

Went out in the Fez today, thats the worst snow I've seen in ages. Won't be out again it the car if I don't need to be. Luckily my dads got a Ford Ranger. 
Will be hell if that snowfall freezes like the last one.
