Default anyone snowed in?

looks like its been non stop throught he night here..im guessing we have around 5-6 inches of snow here as we have quite high kerbs on my street and cant see them now..peoples guttering is coming off in the street due to the weight of it..looks like a couple of days off for me as there is no way i will get the van out of my street.. was funny seeing the dogs face though when he went out for a piss..poor thing must have thought he was falling through the ground ha..just as well hes a lanky git ha

We were booked on a trackday at Donington Park today. This is what we found.









They borrowed the tractors from east mids airport, with huge brushes on but were unable to clear the track safely, so it was abandoned.

Oh well.... the joys of 2 inches of snow eh?

Got back home and its lovely and sunny.
