Bolton and Horwich are really bad, no practice for us tonight or tomorrow. Spent 3 fekkin hours clearing the driveway ! and still couldn,t get off the estate

Coppull/Chorley area is FUBAR too. Couldn't get out of the village today.

# Posted by DYEHOUSE - 05/01/2010, 16:28 (GMT)

It's normally only ever mild where I am but the snow is halfway up the wheels of my car already and still coming down thick and fast!
so I know if it's like this here it must be really bad out lancashire way? Bollocks!

# Posted by viking - 05/01/2010, 16:30 (GMT)

bad and getting worse my way-managed to get out this morning-no way now-my tyre tracks are covered up totally-it's the freeze that's making it even worse? :-(

# Posted by 45's - 05/01/2010, 16:31 (GMT)

# Posted by DYEHOUSE - 05/01/2010, 17:20 (GMT)

You'd think all that salt water in Blacky would keep it to a minimum?

# Posted by viking - 05/01/2010, 17:25 (GMT)

@steve wolf-yeah - that's the problem here-it snows, then it freezes then snows again-ice is packed down and makes driving immense fun-not!!! mind you-we think we have problems?? this was in paignton, devon.

# Posted by Northern Riot - 05/01/2010, 17:31 (GMT)

is that the correct procedure these days then?? Abandon vehicle and get run over while your airbag goes off inside??? Scary stuff...

John

# Posted by Bat - 05/01/2010, 21:02 (GMT)

@Viking - LMAO at that Devon video. I mean, god, it was scary watching it and gonna be in that situation, but them sliding about on their arses after rolling out of car was funny. But the driver nearly went under the wheels! eeep!
Its snowed a lot in Leigh. All day, non stop. I was working too!

# Posted by viking - 05/01/2010, 21:08 (GMT)

@ bat-yeah- i know paignton very well-that hill must be at least a 1 in 7-hard enough to get up and down at the best of times-wtf made them think they could actually DRIVE on it in icy conditions?? too much scrumpy, methinks?/ lol!!
@ theBig Fish-irony is willow-went out this morning-the main road towrds the pennines looked like that? some drivers thought they were out on a "sunday cruise"-until the back end of their car was where the front end should be!! eeek!! ;-/

# Posted by Bat - 05/01/2010, 21:12 (GMT)

far too much scrumpy. lol. Them chaps walkin past were slippin, and you could see it was just sheet of ice over the road. And it did look quite a steep decline. I'd panic. But i think it'd be safer to stay in the car, maybe? In this weather, the motorbike stays firmly in the lockup.

# Posted by DAKOTA - 05/01/2010, 21:26 (GMT)

@ Rick the 45's
Spent 3 fekkin hours clearing the driveway ! and still couldn,t get off the estate

# Posted by Ian from Bolton - 06/01/2010, 00:08 (GMT)

Snow? We've got snow in Bolton. This is me finding out my car wouldn't come off the drive without the aid of a spade, this morning.

Bolton town centre was a mess at 1.30 pm when work sent us all home. Again, 30 minutes to dig my car out on a car park I wouldn't have got it home without the help of the two guys that helped me push it onto the road.

If you're not on a main road, you're very likely in trouble and the main roads were just crap today.

# Posted by Bass Bloke - 06/01/2010, 00:12 (GMT)

Bloody hell thought mine was bad Ian ,I just got back in bed dude, lol,

Blimey, Off line for 24 hours and look what happens!!!

I missed everything from Monday night till 11:30 today (Gut bug/Flu).No snow on the Gardens/roads in Fleetwood, so I would guess much the same in Blackpool.Hopefully improvements for all over the next few days.

# Posted by DYEHOUSE - 06/01/2010, 12:26 (GMT)

No Snow in Fleetwood?
Luis has just cried off the auditions cause he's snowed in????
Am I being had?

# Posted by Keef - 06/01/2010, 13:00 (GMT)

I am at the posh end of town (on the main road), not been up round Luis's end of town, so it might be different there mate.
