I've just travelled from London Gatwick to Brighton - and YES, it's snowing like crazy. Guess what? Correct, not a single solitary gritter to be seen anywhere.!!! :rolleyes:

The motorways were filling up with snow - and the A & B roads were already full.

p.s. The 'W' option was used (VERY effective) - as no doubt all other MB owners will select in the morning.

An understatement :roll: Can you borrow a car? Then when someone slides into you, it won't be one of yours which needs mending :lol:

'93 320te, '54 ragtop beetle (in bits)
A few inches in the southeast and still falling heavily, all the numpteys where out when i was on my way home- 10mph on and around the A20 but still bumper to bumper :rolleyes:

Found out that a 320te is vitually undrivable on compacted snow (so much as touch the throttle and it lights up the rears, S... W makes no odds). Lots of fun in a big empty carpark though :D

I do not have any curtains in my house Jez, so just looking out of the window, and nipping outside at -3c for the odd cigar, my only vice, apart from posting here

No curtains? Is that a Swedish habit? Snow is so deep here the bonnet badge has disappeared
