It is only snow it does not stop anybody working , I could have worked yesterday but only 1 day behind after snow and freezing temps last week .
Next week was a short week due to it been xmas 4 wks ago so will move workload into next week , Heavy snow tomorrow then temps of -2 to -3 degrees dont see it been a problem . Mike

Couldn't get where I needed to be on Friday. Would have worked but the council never gritted anywhere.
Had to reverse my van down about 300 metres of hill and watch as 3 cars tried the same route and got stuck at the top. It then took over an hour to do what would normally be a 10 min journey home.
Had to put tracks under the van wheels 3 times before getting stuck again trying to reverse up onto our drive. A couple of neighbours came out and helped push the car off the drop kerb.
Hopefully the roads will be cleared by Monday, but it just didn't stop snowing all day Friday and made driving conditions terrible.

It is for me and my wife we have no problem getting about drove to a forest to drive through snow and icy forest track to ensure she can cope driving in heavy snow tomorrow .
Best thing i ever did was buy a 4x4 . Mike

my neighbour has got a landrover and his vehicle is still stuck ;D
-
He's got a landrover and he's stuck!!!! What a plumb Pmsl!
-
to be fair our hills are really extreme and continual s bends with cars parked both sides not a lot of room if anything goes wrong..he has no problem
getting the motor moving and keeping it moving but he back end kicks out badly
and his worry is more about making contact with other vehicles than anything else.
the lad downhill of us in the cul de sac has a range rover and he has exactly
the same problem.
-
Well the main roads are back to normal now, however the work i have to do from Friday is out in the sticks.
May have to skip them a few days as i doubt the roads will have been gritted.
Glad i've got plenty of work local to me and not too far from the main roads.

White out here in South Yorkshire :'(

The back end should not step out if going the correct speed in the correct gear.
Pick-up trucks are known for that if they have no weight in the back at a minimum I have 150kg in back , and have managed fine.
When bmw owned Landrover the 4wd system was not great now it is far superior . Depends on driver and vehicle older Freelander not that great and range rovers with big wide wheels are almost useless .
You have got to have a decent set of tyres . Mike
-
Ok , thought you meant landrover as in defender.....
Have had a defender or discovery 1 for 26 years.
Low range diff lock engaged will drive on sheet ice
Yes it slides about a bit , it's 2 ton of metal , but take it slow
And use gears not brakes to stop.
And I promise you these cars will cope with more than you.

Totally the right advice their Tompoole we have an L200 Trojan and currently have it in 4 high and it manages fine even fully loaded with 1/2 a ton .
Slow and steady gets you about safely. Mike
