Heavy snow

[nigel129]

With absolute Chaos happening all around today in (Hemel Hempstead) due to our 40 minute Snow Blizzard my Trusty Truck n her new GG AT2's performed absolutely Brilliant

Removed a L*******r from a steep hill n Disposed of a Audi in the way on the same hill only to have to shift a Toyota Yaris still on the way down n then had to Tow a Toyota people carrier 3/4 of a mile up a hill that was straddling n blocking both lanes n that was just on me way home ....

All made comments like "wanna swap vehicles", obviously I declined n even turned down a offer to purchase my ole Gal ..
However I did comment to the yota drivers that they have the wrong model !!
Sorry no Pics, I didn't have time !!
Happy Days n only took me 2 hours to get home some 3 miles away

Surf 10/10
GG AT2's 10/10

My good deed for the day was going to the shop for a couple of packs of ciggys and ended up delivering the milk to two shops. The delivery wagon made it to merthyr from Hereford but failed a quarter mile from the first shop. He gave me a crate of milk for my help so the fridge now looks like a cow has laid eggs. Mmmm lots of milkshakes and Strongbow.....

Still not sure on wether to use low ratio 4WD as it seems a very slow way to get from A to B, even in snow. Any advice anyone ??

if using it in high works then no need I've not had to use 4 low either this year or last even on steep hills where others had abandoned cars this one just plodded through. H

snow in the bay

As we never get snow in the bay it was a joy to wake up this morning and play. No bus service moving in the area, no gritters just the trusty surfs going were no man or woman can get to........we love you SURFS

Well got in from work this morning at 04:30 and no snow. Got up 09:30 and nothing is moving!! As usual the council did themselves proud with heavy gritting Oh what a plonker, I forgot, they were caught out cos we had no idea this would be hitting us unexpectedly!!!

Cheers, Nick

Hi ya peeps! I am back. Sorry not been on for ages.

Yesterday was definitely fun driving home from work in Kings Langley in this snow. I didn't see anyone in trouble on the roadside thankfully, but I would have stopped to see if there was anything I could do to help if I did.

We've got more snow coming down pretty heavy again now too. It's gonna be even more fun out there today!

Hope your all keeping well & staying safe on those roads!

[Overland Tonka]

Off out to see how bad the ice is under the snow that's coming down heavy now.....got my nappy on!!

We finally got about between 3 and 4 inches overnight. bit of a bugger as crutches don't come with a/t bottoms

just back from taking next door neighbour into town (police lady) who commented that it was a shame the force didnt have surfs........!
Checked up on aged Aunty, after explaining who my husband was for the third time, tucked her up in the warm.
On the way home first in a que of 3 vehicals waiting for oncoming traffic to come down the hill an unparented van driver saw fit to overtake us in the path of oncoming traffic and rip of the wing mirrors of the cars parked....what a tool !!
There ends my day of excitement...i hope.
