It's Snowing

[JDFQ300.]

Hit alder grove via the m2/templepatrick roads and you should be grand !

 

[saxo_man]

There is a good two - three inches here. Time to try out the snow tyres me thinks.

 

[Lyons]

Bit of slush around Belfast, but nothing worth talking about.

No one else in the office yet. Sadly chances are slim of 15 or so others getting snowed in and unable to make it in...

Nice wee dusting of it back home but rocked up to the yard at 6.30 and nothing, wee bit of frost on the grass, that's it.

Hope it doesn't get any worse til near Xmas. Its a novelty but it quickly becomes a pain in the ass

 

[Coog]

Winter tyres performed really well. Driving on the snow and the ice was just like driving on damp tarmac, no slipping or sliding at all. Unfortunately the work shoes were less well suited and I went on my arse 2 secs after stepping out of the car.

 

[tbdevpaul]

Plenty of padding there coog so I'm sure you will be fine

 

[tbdevpaul]

Anyone know what its like Ballymoney/Coleraine direction?

Spot on. Light dusting of mostly grauple type snow

 

[Gaz]

Fair bit of snow lying where I live, but very little in round South Belfast itself, my work car park is mostly just wet. *** this cold though, got a crack in my window this morning

 

[steenson]

Yet again the german crapheap has been defeated by the snow morale of the story if you live on a hill and get about 3 inch of snow "the ultimate driving machine" coupled with 255's makes for a stationary experiance

 

[Boydie]

Slush this morning I was hoping for the car to be covered in it but sadly not!

 

[svensktoppen]

Ready to head out on the bike in Belfast... Snowmobile would be more useful, lol, as usual only the main roads are cleared.

much snow lying on the mournes? I'm dying to ski there this winter for a bit of craic

No snow around my direction yet, we are usually the last to get it though

Have never seen enough snow in the Mournes to actually ski on, lol, not even last year. But maybe I am too picky

Mulled wine and mince pies sounds like a great idea though

 

[pablo]

cycled in this morning, was umm fun lol

 

[tbdevpaul]

Seriously cant be much fun for cycling in those conditions pabbers ?

Gaz according to autoglass the cold winter weather can turn a chip into a crack so you should have called when you spotted the chip

 

[Gaz]

Didn't spot a chip, that's the problem!

 

[tbdevpaul]

It would have been covered by your insurance company too Gaz

 

[steenson]

He just wanted an excuse to bike it in the snow

 

[Gaz]

Oh I know, I'll get it sorted under insurance anyway, just a pain in the ass.

 

[Burt2000]

good 2 inches in carryduff, the mps was good craic with the 4wd

 

[tbdevpaul]

Nice one Burt did it perform well ? I left the mondeo parked up and brought the truck out LOL

 

[Mel]

Took girl I work with 2.5 hours to get from Strangford to Larne this morning, said everyone was driving at 2 mph, soo glad I live half a mile from work!

 

[Burt2000]

Nice one Burt did it perform well ? I left the mondeo parked up and brought the truck out LOL

Yeah it performed spot on unless provoked

 

[pablo]

glengormley was standstill this morning, took the wife nearly an hour to get through it (school run). I was on the bike so rode on the footpath most of the way through was mega slippy though. Road was ok just very wet and slushy

 

[DaddyCC]

Sweet Jesus Pablo I think you've earned this

 

[pablo]

had to fire the foot down a few times to stop coming off

wouldnt like to be cleated in this weather!
