RH1 (Redhill) getting deeper and still thick snow coming down. Main roads still passable but pavements getting very dodgy.

Can't believe the kids have been sent home from school. This country is a joke sometimes. I expect the teachers fancied a long weekend. All roads are clear in Eastbourne.

 

[Eastleigh Seagull]

Just been out and checked the depth. We have 13 cm here in medstead hampshire and its still coming down heavily.

 

[Sussax]

Just spent 2 solid hours help clear the street.

And It was great seeing everyone help out.
And I even found out we had a muslim living in our street, thankfully however he wasn't implementing Sharia law on us.

The key to travelling in snow is preparation, and a willingness to eat human flesh.

Professor Henry Brubaker said: “The important thing to remember, if you are forced to pull in, is that the warmest place in the car is under the bonnet. Use spanners to remove your car’s engine then climb inside, getting into the foetal position.”

Snow travel checklist:

Raw meat
Not only is raw meat an essential source of protein, if you rub it on your face and hands it leaves a layer of grease that will protect your skin from wind-chafing. Keep a bin bag full of uncooked meat in your boot.

Sword

Snowy conditions bring out highwaymen, brigands and carnivores attracted by your bag of meat. If any large organism approaches your stationary vehicle wave your blade and shout, ‘I’ve got a sword and I’ll cut your f***ing head off’.

Crisps (Beef)

Beef crisps are another excellent source of protein. The packet also serves as a distress signal if you fill it with air then stamp on it.

Microscope

A magnification device is useful for checking whether all snowflakes are indeed unique.

A sense of romance

According to data for motoring organisations, 64% of drivers lack a basic sense of romance and adventure.

One of those giant kangaroo things from Empire Strikes Back

Not everyone has access to a tauntaun but if you live in the Star Wars universe they are the ultimate snow vehicle. Unless you are riding a female one that’s in season and there’s a group of male tauntauns around, in which case it’s a nightmare.
