Lighthouse Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 Absolutely feck all in Bristol. Not even a flake.
SFKA South Woodford Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 It's been coming down quite heavily here in Basingstoke for the last five hours, there must be well over an inch on the ground now, and it's showing no sign of letting up.
Ludwig Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 Absolutely feck all in Bristol. Not even a flake. Lies. There was snow half an hour or so ago.
Gingeletiss Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 Got six inches in mid Sussex, snowing heavily and heading your way (west) Is that 'man' inches, or 'woman' inches?
Gingeletiss Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 In at work now, I must say, that there are some fecking idiots on our roads. I had them undertaking and overtaking on the Millbrook rd, and I was doing a steady 20/25 mph. No wonder so many end up smaking into things!
Smirking_Saint Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 Must have atleast 4-5 inches outside. Phone on, laptop set up and conference call on the way. I can't see me making it in.
Smirking_Saint Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 Its pretty rediculous really that they had this situation last year, we all knew this was coming about a week ago and apparantly the council had purchased more materials in order to help clear the snow however they have stilled failed to get the roads clear and get it sorted. Useless. Also it could be a good thing for Saints to have a week or so off to let those little niggly injuries calm down abit.
70's Mike Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 Working at home, in Locks Heath, decided not to try and get to Totton this morning. Still light snow here
Townhillsaintsfan Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 At least 4-5 inches of snow around Townhill. The few people out driving seem to be managing at a steady pace at the moment but the tracks in the snow left behind look to be turning icy and slippery already.
S-Clarke Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 Not going to chance getting to Eastleigh this morning, apparently the main roads in and around eastleigh have not been grited. The slushy mess on the road is also turning icy here now as well, was passable earlier down my road but it's getting worse.
hamster Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 In at work now, I must say, that there are some fecking idiots on our roads. I had them undertaking and overtaking on the Millbrook rd, and I was doing a steady 20/25 mph. No wonder so many end up smaking into things! You're not wrong GLT. I took mrs h to work earlier and at the top of the hill near The Ice House with a queue of cars coming towards me (up the hill) and a car blocking their side of the road, I thought it better to let them keep moving, waved them on. This one car hesitated and almost didn;t make it, when they eventually passed with the windows open, I received a torrent of abuse from the driver and passengers. what a bunch of ******s.
angelman Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 Tried taking the kids to school but gave up after 3 miles. Almost didna make it back cos cars abandoned half way up hills. Ridiculous that not even the main roads (A35) has been cleared/treated.
Sheaf Saint Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 More snow in Sheffield overnight - it's still coming down pretty heavy, yet the weather forecast says heavy snow showers until lunchtime and then HEAVY SNOW after midday!!!!!! This is nuts. The one and only time in my life I have seen this much snow is when I went on a snowboarding holiday in Bulgaria in 2006!
DG Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 Loads here near Emsworth (Hants/W. Sussex coast), no chance making it out the village today.
fanimal Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 Romsey looks like a Xmas card scene, still coming down. Stay at home/in bed!!
saintscottofthenortham Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 All done and dusted by 7:30am. Anyone would have thought I was exited.
SO16_Saint Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 no major problems getting in to work today. Live in Lordswood and work in town. Only slight problem was Lordshill Way.
scotty Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 Ive just been down to the mayflower and back (from nursling), not particularly pleasant, but do-able.
sperm_john Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 other side of fair oak, must have about 5-6 inches (and still snowing), was due to be working down near the marina in sarisbury but boss rang and said not to bother, gotta drive over to winchester in the flat bed in a mo to drop the mrs off, should be interesting ..then to the pub for the rest of the day! and make a southampton related snow creation at some point ..
Pancake Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 Got a nice 9-10 inches in south Essex (real inches, not man inches). Good stuff.
buctootim Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 Is that 'man' inches, or 'woman' inches? Woman inches. Got 10 real inches now.
SuperMikey Posted 2 December, 2010 Author Posted 2 December, 2010 I really, really hate snow now - getting back from Winchfield (North Hampshire) to Southampton Airport took 4 HOURS on the train this morning as both of my trains were delayed by an hour each.
Joensuu Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 What are the odds that my flight out of Gatwick will take off on Saturday... I'm not getting my hopes up.
badgerx16 Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 Looking out of my office window the sun is shining, the sky is absolutely clear, and the roads and pavements are ice free. It's really grim up north ( west ). ( Now, if that's not tempting fate I don't know what is )
Smirking_Saint Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 Anyone been into town from Sholing ?? I am working from home but have bits i need to do in town, is it worth it ?
buctootim Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 What are the odds that my flight out of Gatwick will take off on Saturday... I'm not getting my hopes up. Gatwick reopening Friday morning. Big thaw Friday and Saturday.
Jones91 Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 yeah, the roads are fine now with traffic on them. Its tomorrow morning you wanna watch out for, the big frost coming on top of the melted snow... ice ice baby
Hatch Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 is it snowing in Chandlers Ford at the moment? anyone?
Jonnyboy Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 Must have atleast 4-5 inches outside. Phone on, laptop set up and conference call on the way. I can't see me making it in. slacker
Smirking_Saint Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 slacker Turned out to be one yeah, nearly had to go out.
Redondo Saint Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 What? Snow a regular occurrence in the winter? Who'd have thought it? I doubt we'll get much down here if any. Last year's snowfall was a once in 20 years episode. Welcome to your "Michael Fish moment"!!!!
dune Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 Another 3 inches today in the east mids. A roads reasonable, B roads passable with care, back roads terrible.
hamster Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 As the resident forum gritter-watch poster I can confirm that as of 18:00 hours 7 gritter lorries have passed my house en-route to the motorways. Yes, it is annoying when I am trying to watch Vampire ****ing Diaries but I see it as my duty. Phone in now and tell the boss you won;t be in tomorrow, join me for one almighty SaintsSnowmanFest on the common. NB Make that 9 gritters!!! Another sleepless night for me with Anne Murray I suppose.
dune Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 Just put the wheelie bin out. I bet the lazy ****s say the roads are too bad and don't empty it.
dickyhale Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 At least I had the day off today but dad wants me back tomorrow. Nearly 5 inches in Shirley
Jonnyboy Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 Just put the wheelie bin out. I bet the lazy ****s say the roads are too bad and don't empty it. what a man of the people
Jeff Le Taxi Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 Thinking of changing my username today and at least til midday tomorrow to Jeff Le Youllbeferkinlucky!
Junction 9 Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 Just put the wheelie bin out. I bet the lazy ****s say the roads are too bad and don't empty it. What would Churchill say? Actually I already know has you post quotes from him most days.
dickyhale Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 Just put the wheelie bin out. I bet the lazy ****s say the roads are too bad and don't empty it. Be careful I put the wheelie bins out a day early and got threatening by a jobs worth council worker who said he could fine me £80.00 (FFS)
benjii Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 Right, I was planning on coming down to Soton after work tomorrow. I will be going M4 (from the west), A34, M3, the Avenue then towards Shirley. I know the M4 is ok at the moment. What are people's views on the other roads? Many thanks. The BBC travel news has nothing reported at all for Hampshire which I find a little odd!
benjii Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 (edited) should be fine benj That's what I thought too. Me old ma' was putting me off a bit on the phone earlier but I think she was just being a bit of a worryer. Edited 2 December, 2010 by benjii
Smirking_Saint Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 Major roads are fine mate, its getting to them thats the problem.
Um Bongo Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 A34, M3, are fine. Did them this morning at 5am and this evening at 5pm. The drive home this evening was lush, rush hour and no traffic at all. Traffic should be light tomorrow as well.
benjii Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 Cheers all. Sounds like the only dodgy bit will be getting from Hill Lane to my ultimate destination!
LVSaint Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 Can you all continue this discussion in our next match thread at 3pm on a Saturday. At this rate, we'll win 5-0. FACT.
BadgerBadger Posted 3 December, 2010 Posted 3 December, 2010 Well today ended up as an afternoon pub session with the neighbour, once we'd cleared the drive (2 hours of manual labour) we'd thought we'd earned a pint. His lodger came with us(for good measure), got to the pub circa 16:00 to find it pack to the rafters and a xmas eve feel to it all. Got right royally eggnogged, nothing like a bit of adversity for the British public to curtail it into an excuse for a good ole p1ss up. Goodnight xx
