ExMemberBobdog Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Snowed heavily for a couple of hours up here in North Norfolk from about 8.30am, and I thought we were in for a major dump. Now the sun is out and it's all melted away again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranworthbreeze Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Hi Jon, Those pictures just look like the frost we had this morning other than there were no boat in sight. A group of us were talking the other night about the snow we had a few weeks ago and how it featured in the news, we all agreed that if this had been a few years ago it would have never been news worthy. During my working life I have always managed to get home, even walked at times. When I was a service engineer and working on the Derbyshire/Yorkshire boarders I have always carried a spade, grit, chains, grips or had snow tyres fitted. I have never had a four wheel drive only rear or front wheel drive and only snow deep has stopped me. I spent 3 hours on the M1 trying to get to Leeds in the 70's and only got as far as the motorway services, I phoned my manager saying I could continue but by the time I got to Leeds it would be time to set off back for home. He reluctantly said ok but was not happy. Regards Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadScot Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Black Ice is nasty. You can always rebuild a car, so very glad your daughter avoided damage, and is ok 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffbroadslover Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I would be very careful when referring to that ice that is very difficult to notice ( ice of a particular colour) Someone somewhere will probably try to have you done for colour discrimination !!!!

Jeff Jeff, I have driven into it twice in my life of over 40 years driving, not a pleasent experience, its always going to be referred as that type of ice. Unless of course we paint our roads a different colour! Then it can be Tartan Ice Iain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetKingfisher1 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Thanks Polly and Iain, she is far from happy, because she can't do what she does over her weekends . Regards Marina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracie Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Sorry to read that Marina, a car can always be replaced but not a life, glad she is ok We hit black ice once a couple of years ago and slid ino a ditch, not pleasant Grace 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExMemberBobdog Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Unless of course we paint our roads a different colour! Then it can be Tartan Ice Aha, now. Did you hear about the two pieces of tarmac, one grey, one black, chatting in the pub, when in walks a green piece of tarmac? "Stay away from him", whispers the grey tarmac, "he's a cycle path". 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
