Just had to tell a load of delinquent yobs to sod off with my neighbour after they shoved a load of snow through the letterbox from the bonnet of my car...

Dont know why some people feel the need to behave like that

Worst thing is... the drive isn’t pristine anymore grrr!

Yea, I had that in March, have a glass table outside and it was collecting the snow perfectly and making a really nice shape (picture attached) 

then my partners daughter went outside and knocked it all off, was quite annoyed, bloody yobs.

Is everyone in this thread staying up all night lol?

Till I run out of Stella, got a can and a half left, so about five minutes.

no doubt won’t sleep well, will be curtain twitching for a few hours.

Do I set the alarm extra early and attempt to get the car out to work or get up normal time and just say I'm not coming in?

Would say to them: “got up a bit earlier than normal to dig the car out, got half way down my road and the car skidding all over the show, sorry I did try, bloody snow” - then dig the sledge out and drive to the nearest hill.

Hope everyone is having a ball. Try and make sure it hasn’t all melted by the time I get  home on Saturday..... seriously frustrated at being away tonight.

Missed a good one Catacol, hope it lasts for you...

all that effort you put into looking for it, must be frustrating. Thanks for all your insight this winter.

Depth doesn’t matter.. it’s how you use the depth that does.

That’s what those without depth tell themselves.

4 inches...not bad at all!

Definitely an opportunity for some banter here, but I’ll refrain

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 01/12/2018 Onwards]

Nice little walk with the hound.

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 01/12/2018 Onwards]

Got about 10 cms  here, 4 inches, still coming down fast and forecast to go on till tomorrow afternoon.

Mind you the build up to the beast was a bit more exciting, this has just sort of come out of nowhere, the beast rolled in like clockwork and was very hyped up.

And dare I say it, this snow fall is better than last years first beast from the east!!

Tend to agree actually, prefer the heavier chunkier flakes, the beast was a bit powdery for my tastes.

it might have delivered for you (which is good) but the rest of the UK this winter has been absolute pants

Yes have felt that pain many times, if I had a magic wand, I would magic snow for all, but I don’t, sorry. Hopefully you’ll get some soon

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 01/12/2018 Onwards]

I really should take the dog for a walk or something, waited months for this and I’m just sat here reading the forum. Perhaps I’ll get some pictures and ask the quad man if I can do a few donuts. Maybe not wise after a Stella.

So true Bazray. It's nice that the SW and CSE region got the goods instead of the other regions this time.

Wouldn't go that far lol  The grass in my garden is 10 inches high.

That’s my lawn

Catacol has been chasing snow for months, he is away on a conference, poor sod

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 01/12/2018 Onwards]

Have been reading the mad thread for months, feels like years, any potential has always been at day ten and never delivered. Literally on the verge of labelling this winter a busted flush and giving up, then BOOM IT DELIVERS.

Funny old game.

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 01/12/2018 Onwards]

First Stella of the year going down smoothly 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 01/12/2018 Onwards]

Got some bloke on a quad doing donuts on the road outside, looks fun fair play

Nope... hunker down and hope I can get away in morning. Very nasty out there now.

Would be wise mate, specially if you don’t have four wheel drive, easy to get stuck and that would be a complete nightmare. Better safe than sorry...

Have not drunk since Christmas Day, have had a few cans of Stella sat in the fridge from then, think going to have to crack a few open.
