Not snowing here in Northants

Last year my Cayman got stuck in the middle of my street, loads of neighbours had to force it back onto the drive

Hate snow if I have to drive

It bloody isn't. And I'm not talking about perceived oppo-lock skill, or lack of, either.

255 series wide tyres and a sloped drive means I can't even get out if it snows. The Porsche is much better and that's saying something.

Being as that's in London i'm sure the BBC will be reporting that the whole country is crippled and brought to its knees by teatime, 3 stockbrokers slipped on a snow flake and broke their necks in Budgerigar Wharf or whatever it is....

Yes I am a bit of a miserable fucker when it comes to snow, but what is it good for (absolutely nothing say it again), sledging and snowmen – neither really float by boat.

What it does mean is there will be no golf for me over the weekend (if it settles) and as doughnut says the entire capital will grind to a halt. Even if they go out tonight and grit the roads – it will probably be the wrong sort of grit

I drove to Southampton and back for a meeting yesterday. A tiny trickle of snow down there but just the usual gray drizzle back in Derby.

What is it with this country's obsession with snow and "oh my god the world's gonna end"? Every year, you get to mid-november and everyone forgets how to frickin drive!!!

Perversely, we have had no snow up here and we don't expect to either. The only blizzards I've seen for years are those down south.

How the stereotypes are shaken up!
