Are you working tomorrow or not ?

[Nigel Walker]

Snow disapperaing around here. Temperatures starting to rise.

But rain is on its way !!!!!

Even with all the bad weather we havent lost a day at all. In fact we are 1 day ahead of schedule. Never had this before in January !.

All jobs finished, all clients paid up. Cheques in bank.
Just a load of bloody bills to pay on Monday.

[mickg]

you was about 3 miles away and all we had yesterday is the odd fine spec of white dust falling every now and then, left at 3.30 and everything was still clear, gritters were out on the motorway but still nothing till I got to my house and there was a white covering on the road and then it came down heavy

[lutonlagerlout]

whats the pickup like in the snow giles ?

its great, but ive got lots of snow expereince growing up on a farm on top of a hill and living with snow for 4 months solid in munich.

ive also got more off road tyres than standards on

but i was plowing through 5-10 inches no problem, last year i went through 1 foot plus no problem but its more about momentum and the condition of the snow

[ambient]

thinking of getting a navara or L200 barbarian
have an x5 at moment but terrible in snow and not good on motorway

[mickg]

that's strange Tony, I use to have an X5 and had no issues in the snow or driving on motorways ?

very smooth ride even at speed
