"Isn't that true at any time Bonzo? :)"

Croydon town centre rarely has substantial snow but we live 5 miles to the south and 250ft higher which makes a big difference

Well we normally have very little, but we have had enormous blobs. Last winter we had 10 inches which stayed in our road for 2 weeks, causing absolute chaos in the surrounding area because the gritters could not get through initially. I bought 3 25kg bags of grit and salt for our own driveway and steps so my wife can get her car out.

I dare say that as usual, I will be the only one putting down salt in the road from the salt box, while the lazy gits in our road are glued to their televisions.
