I know this topic seems a little weird, but has it snowed everywhere. I am in stoke and it is snowing s**t loads now, this morning it took me 2 hours on a bus to get to college. Bloody provisional license.
Another funny point is that i don't go home till 4.00pm and ave got to wait for the bus, finding the bus stop could seem like a difficult taks.Roll on summer when i should have passed my test and be driving a nova, and laughing at people waiting at the bus stop,haha.

It's only started snowing and settling in the last hour or so, after we had a massive hail type blizzard!
Before then, we were completely clear - it was just bloody cold.

It started snowing in Stoke last night, this morning it was only about 1inch thick, but now its tunning it down, about 3/4inches(in about the last hour), the whole area has been whitened, at least the areas i can see from my IT room window anyway

I have already seen 3 crashes whilst walking home, the roads are a fcuking nightmare, all buses cancelled, i was walking faster than the cars were moving, and beat one of my mates who drove home. when i get my Nova i won't be risking it in the snow, once you start sliding you can do nothing, and all your precious money spent on mods is lost by just one bump into the back of another car. Also been pushing cars that have skidded sidewards in the road, the car was a Saxo which i was going to turn a blind eye at, but the driver was quite a pretty sight to look at, so who would refuse to help her, not me anyway,lol

Judging by the weather forecast,it is gonna be lethal tomorrow, -5C tonight so all the slushy s**t will freeze over, anyone who is driving early tomorrow morning take care and don't do any damage to your Novas or yourselves

I was on a bus this morning going to college for 2 hours, i live about 4 miles away from college, it wasn't even worth going, especially in your car, it ain't worth the risk of someone sliding into you.
