Not so bad here in N.E.Fife. Biggest problem is abandoned cars everywhere by people that dont know how to drive.

Took our sprinter out today and it went everywhere without drama.

Got boys heading down to Eyemouth tomorrow. Hopefully they will make it.

I think you can only moan about the snow if you live south of Watford. If you live up north what do you expect?  ::) ;D
It's not expensive, you just can't afford it.

We had to have today off due to the snow on the coast, however we are in fife tomorrow,so hopefully we will get there and get this job started, whats more worrying is we are now fully booked until the 21st December,including sat/sun. I wish the rain would just come on and wash this crap away.

Hope yer well kerr

Heavy snow falls in Leeds last couple of days,re-arranged tomorrows work for next week.Not too bad when you get on the main roads,its the small roads that are the problem.Not worth the risk,customers happy I rang and changed dates.

Suprisingly not too bad here in Cumbria, about 4"
Had to travel 20 mile tonight in a blizzard, wife said i must be nuts,
Took my Hilux and it flew through it, even past the foot of Blencathra.
Well Clarkson did take one to the north pole  :)

It's pretty bad down here in Cornwall. I'm hoping to get yesterday's job done today, most schools are closed.

I just need to get off our estate, it's like an ice rink at the moment...

A ROYAL PAIN IN THE T1TS!!!

Also based in Edinburgh and i have not seen it this bad before! Even last year when the snow was on for some of November, all of December and most of January I never needed a spade! Evertime i get bloody parked i get stuck!!

No chance of rebooking anything as theres no space to put jobs in! grrrrr

BRING ON THE FFFFF'IN SUMMER!!!
