Re: Snow !
The same William holds Heletune. Orm held it and was a freeman.There are 10 hides, of these 5 pay geld and the others do not pay geld. There is land for 20 ploughs. In demesne are 2 ploughs, 4 oxmen, 4 bordars and 2 priests with 4 ploughs among them all. 2 fishermen there pay 5s and there is 1 acre of meadow and woodland 1 leage long and a half wide...... and a crap load of snow.

Re: Snow !
Snow started yesterday at 6pm, after an hour there was easily 2" and our 15 minute drive home from a family dinner turned into a 75 minute epic journey  only broken by watching hapless drivers trying to drive in the snow and failing.

Re: Snow !
Started at about 9pm last night here, we got about 2 inches.
Weird today getting it off the car today, it was frozen, so came off the windscreen in big blocks.

Re: Snow !
Once again a smattering of snow causes the UK (well this part anyway) to throw a fit and everyone decides to not drive properly.
I honestly think some proper bad weather would cause the UK to go back to the dark ages.

It'd be in a race with Islamic fundamentalism on that one.
Think we hit the dark ages whenever really bad weather hits. Have been a few examples.

Re: Snow !
Never understand it - I lived in Berlin for two years, and we has serious snow, and I never missed a shift ( and we were on top of the biggest hill in Berlin).
People in this country (apologises for vast generalisation) just don't seem to know how to drive in adverse conditions (and I include fog/heavy rain)....

Re: Snow !
As you say there is a significant core of drivers who don't drive to the conditions and try to Drive too fast and get too close to the car in front and thus don't leave themselves any leeway at all.

Re: Snow !
Took the dog out in it, it loves it!
Eating it, catching it, running & rolling in it.
It's demanded to go out 3 times today!

Re: Snow !
Had a light dusting overnight, pretty but not dangerous. Forecast says we might get a bit more.

Re: Snow !
It's been on and off for more than a week here. Until now, it has tended to fall, then melt, then all over again. But now, after 2 days of clear skies and sub-zero temperatures, it is falling on hard-frozen ground. Just coming down lightly, but sticking. Thankfully the gritter came up first thing this morning, so the main road is still clear for now.
