Half inch of snow here, but must be above freezing as it's melting quickly.
Give me an hour or so to defrost the van and I'll have a crack at work.

Only thing is I'm due in a higher up village that will be a tad more snowy! :-\

yeh they work as they dont have snow under them like a normal ladder foot would have,but still dangerous in these conditions with the floor being so cold,but as long as the ladder is at the right angle and your not stretching they ok

I kept my options open for a while but have now decided to write off today.  Snow on the ground is OK but it's still coming down here.  First day that we've had snowfall though.

Yup ... out tradding at 11am to about 2.30pm to a little estate I do with about 6 houses on it ... fortunately not swapped them over to wfp ... that was going to be this clean  ::) .... worth about £65 which is better than nowt plus will make me feel better just getting out and on the glass.



well was good idea but no good as estate all snowed / iced in and not safe with ladders on slippy ground IMHO ... spending tomorrow setting up my IBC in the garage and moving RO from van to garage ... felt better when I got home as the postman had been with 9 cheques  ;D  ;D  ;D

You Scots lads should be well used to snow by now because you get loads every year unlike us southeners that dont usually get much.
