rtbiscuit Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 i nearly got stuck at my parents last night, driving back from essex into suffolk was a nightmare. did 20 mph through most of essex, 30mph on the a120 and 35mph on the a12. i had control of my car, but what worried me was the other d1ckheads on the road. i had several people following behind me that were almost tailgating. even though they could see the back of my car swinging around like j-lo's butt. essex don't seemed to have gritted properly. as soon as we hit the suffolk border, it was still snowing but the roads were clear. loads of sideways action, scared my wife to death, even in 6th gear the rear kept kicking out, thank god for traction and esp. must admit nearly worn bridgestone re040s didn't help. they were bloody useless in the snow, have about 3mm of tread on the rear, i might as well have had slicks on. and to top it all off my school seems to be the only one in suffolk still open. managed to get in, but its due to snow heavily later, i'm more worried about getting home.

Maccaman Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I'm nice and warm in the house. The joy of only working 4 days a week (by choice) so don't have to defrost the Zed until tomorrow. For those of you out there be careful & be safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuck Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Its still coming down quite heavily here but is on and off. Seems to be settling on the ground a bit too well for my liking. Will definately be taking our other car out tomorrow, 206 1.4 diesel. Fingers crossed for your flight still being on Nixy, and yours Martin. p.s just had the following email circulated around at work. We have received the following Warning from the Met Office. From 18.00 Monday 2 February to 12.00 Tuesday 3 February. There is a moderate risk of an extreme event affecting many parts of the northeast of England. Further heavy, drifting snow with blizzard conditions in places is likely, more particularly over higher ground where further accumulations of 20 to 30 cm of snow are possible.

rtbiscuit Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 School finally got closed at 2. But we didn't get to leave till 3. Have been re enacting out the Matrix, had to clear all the kids off the field. Was then shot at with a volley of nearly 15 snowballs from the year 11 and Sixth form. Dodged every one but they got. Bloody close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
