Headline on today's Guernsey news: Winter Wonderland put off by snow
We don't get snow that often, so everything comes to a standstill if even an inch or so falls and stays around  But it's very nice to hear stories of real snowfalls from your frozen lands to the north

And just when will folk realise that 1st gear and 5000 rpm is not the optimum technique for driving up a snowy slope...   |

This driving advice from the MET Office . Met Office: What to do in severe weather
If you must drive check the Highway Code for advice on driving in ice and snowy weather. A summary of the advice is: Take care around gritters. Don't be tempted to overtake. Slow down — it can take 10 times longer to stop in snowy or icy conditions, so allow extra room. Use the highest gear possible to avoid wheel spin. Manoeuvre gently and avoid harsh braking and acceleration. If you start to skid, gently ease off the accelerator and avoid braking. If braking is necessary, pump the brakes don't slam them on. If you get stuck, stay with your car and tie something brightly coloured to your aerial.

Who would want to overtake a gritter? Surely the best place to be if you want an assured journey! Quote:

Obsessive motorists. There's a bloke in our street who has cleared his drive three times since yesterday lunchtime. While he's scraping it more snow is falling and he's just trampling that in. He hasn't taken his car out - there's not really anywhere to go at the moment. It seems to me that he would be better off leaving the snow until precipitation has stopped - go and read a book!
Oh, and guess where all the 'cleared' snow is going? Across the path so that pedestrians now and until the snow melts will have to walk out into the middle of the road to pass ...... |
