Hi everyone,

Just thought i'd post up to see if anyone else has had a snow day!? I went out and measured just under 6 inches!

The car is staying at home but i'm going out for a play lol

Heavy snow through much of the UK. Even several cms where I am, which is quite rare!

It has not stopped snowing here since last night

s15 is staying in the garage & i've driven to work in the Micra :wack:


i'm a whimp and hate driving in snow so i hope it goes away :annoyed:

I had to bring the S15 in this morning as I don't have another car, got her there in the end

 

[C1TPT]

I wouldn't have wanted to take mine out this morning! This was about 8 this morning, it's even worse now!!

I had to drive mine back from Sussex last night and just near Clacketts the snow came down with a vengence and had settled and compacted on the motorway....tail sliding in 5th gear at 20mph !! Also the ABS couldnt handle it esp with my big brake setup, even touching the brake it was kicking in. i was driving on the edge of my nerves that whole time.

I so want some snow.........

 

[Andyw]

snow all day up in yorkshire!

15 is tucked away in the garage, came to work this morning with a massive pile of the white stuff on the bonnet lol

Ship full of russians at work are loving it, feel right at home

i never used to move mine in the snow. just not worth it. abuse the luxury of a company van that i don't have to pay the insurance for! lol

I know exactly what you mean, when i went to my girlfreinds last night i had to concentrate so hard on the quieter roads. Very scary!

Thanks Mark, she's far from perfect but she's all mine

Jez, I know exactly what you mean. Zero traction on the motorway and if you stray off of the line everyone else is driving you're asking for trouble...

Here's one from this morning:

And here's what I had to contend with on my way home (three and a half hours to do less than 50km - I bloody hate the M50)

Traffic was bearly moving and when it did it didn't get above 10kph. Zero traction too so when I did have to stop it took me ages to get going again - never knew you could drift doing less than 5kph at less than 1,000 rpm!!!

And this is a bit closer to home, thats the snow driving at me rather than the other way around, I was only doing 30kph

 

[JEZ 8553]

Yep, the M25 was just like the last pic, never seen snow unmelted like that on the motorway before. Wouldnt ever drive in the snow normally but had to drive back from the missus's, good job i didnt leave it until today!

Driving on snow in a RWD car, snow drifting at you, and you take a photo...? Are you sick of life?

LOL!

Curious... do they salt the road in the UK as well? My JDM came with snow tyres with badly corroded exhaust and shields...

 

[Miss S15]

Some snow here but gone again

 

[Trial_S15]

Not at all Christian, the road was straight for miles with no traffic and wide hard shoulders on both sides, besides I have no turbo and was only doing about 25/30KPH

Gunner, they occassionally salt the roads here in Ireland but didn't on Sunday night even though it was forecast to snow all week....
