hi

Will is right about the sporadic nature of the snow in England.

I live in the North West and at the moment we have yet to have any snow this year. This even though within 10 miles in all directions sizeable amounts have been experienced with many problems with roads, communications etc.

This is much to the disappointment of our grand children and great grandchildren as our son promised to take them sledging but we have had to cancel it due to no snow.

The forecasts have been promising ( or that should be threatening !!) us with snow for some time now but we have escaped. Today they have forecast heavy snow for most of the Northwest especially our area so it will be interesting to see what happens.

I have had to drive many times on long journies in snow when I lived in Scotland so I know most of the things that several members have suggested here. But like Joe we are both retired so we just stay put when we get bad conditions.

Hoping to go out tonight as it is our ex- company's Christmas party and we hope to meet up with some old friends that we only see at this event each year.......so snow snow stay away.

cheers
