2010/11 Snow Pics Thread

[AndyP & Lenore]

It's that time of year again.

To avoid multiple snow pics threads, post your snow pics here for the winter 2010/11 season. Any new threads will be merged into this thread.

Last year's pics thread was here. (http://www.newminiscotland.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?19248-Post-your-snow-pics-here-winter-2009-10)

It's in a nice new home in the Photography Section, instead of Off Topic.

Will sticky this until spring.

I've not got any pictures to post yet, but I did buy a sledge at the weekend in preparation...

Thanks Andy! I thought seems I asked for the photography I might as well kick off the 2010/11 winter snapping season ;)

Not spent a great deal on these two pics, literally just opened the door, took some pics, and went back inside again lol! Just purely wanted to show how ridiculous the snow we have already!!!!!

My sister couldn't get out of her street today but that's more to do with her car being a rear wheel drive merc with an auto box ..... I've had to give her my mini with winter tyres on it !! :thud: :lol:

What model of Merc?
Does it not have a manual button as well as the auto?
I can select manual and use the paddles on steering wheel, not to bad in snow last year considering rear wheel drive and really wide tyres.

CLC 180 Kompressor...... I did mention about using manual and switching off the traction control, but I am told it didn't help. She had to have 3 people push her and when that didn't work, she got a tow.... :clap:

[Stewart]

It was -9 here in Glasgow last night. The snow is back on heavy and there must be six inches out there.

P.S is the usual I-phone cammera a bit dull when taking pic's? It was bright out side but the pics did not look it.

[Scottie]

blowing a blizzard at Dunblane last night / this morning with the added delight of thunder and lighting last night was good.

[Stewart]

Not there yet but if it keeps up till tonight that will be it, all but the 4X4 in my area. Cars have no chance!

[Mini Ecosse]

Sorry, still no snow pictures from Oban.
Cold, dry and sunny :)

I'm a newcomer, only lived here 4 years. Quite often at the motox track at Argaty with my nephews.

Just got a garage in the village, but my wife's car is a Smart Roadster and leaks like a sieve, so mine has to live in the street.

Well we have been pretty much snowed in today... we live at bottom of the hill on our estate so have ended up helping those who got stuck!

Rear wheel drives really do suck! Best performer on our estate has been the Audi TT up the road that just ploughs through it all no problems!

Ok so it seems as though someone decided we didn't have enough snow and last night another 12 inches or so fell, I think there's about 20 in total now lying however there are 3ft drifts on the way into the village. Here's some pics..... sorry they're iPhone so don't expect too much.

Well the snow has been on solid all afternoon here, and out at my inlaws, the snow is just past the door handles of their Fiesta...it's just insane.

Cripes and I thought we had it bad with 2ft. It looks set to break for a few days at least around Sunday depending on location.

I hate the stuff with a passion, sorry but I don't do snow one iota.
Makes my job ten times harder and the stress levels in some folk go off the scale.
My drivers can have a helluva time, stuck out on the road for a couple of days, not to mention the risks involved driving units & trailers in white outs.

Oh and Alfie (my Westie) canny get enough of it, seriously thinking of getting him one of those flashing collars as I canny see him half the the time lol

local shop keepers are TWATS end off.......... our guys are working 24 hours to get the finished milk out to local shops and also the supermarkets, you have to remember the tankers have to get into the farms first to get the RAW milk, the farmers have to work 24 hours to keep their roads clear.... driving a tanker down a farm road with a moving load is not easy.

Have to confess family originate from your neck of the woods so am fairly familiar with some of the landmarks. My great grandfather drove the first motorised vehicle into Penan and if I mention my Granny's maiden name was West I guess you wont need many guesses to identify the north-east village she originated from!!

[AndyP & Lenore]

How sad is it when the highlight of the day is when a snow plough comes up your street. What a frikking week!!!!

Like most, Winter 2010-11 for us started overnight from Friday to Saturday. Woke up to about 6". Lots of snow on the ground too. Sorry, couldn't resist. We thought, OK, if this is it that's not too bad. But we've then had another 4 to 6"'s every night since then. We're now on our 6th day of this cr@p and we're fed up of it. Keep clearing the drive only to wake up and find another 6"'s of snow on the ground and that takes another 2 hours to clear. Seems like we've spent all week clearing our own drive, Lenore's folks drive, my own folks drive or our neighbours drive.

Anyway, enough ranting.... Some pics for your visual entertainment. Taken on the cusp of dusk (I'm a poet and didn't even know it) so they may look a bit dark.:blush:

Thats the thing with this weather just now. As soon as you get the driveway cleared, get back in the house, your boots off and you get sat down.... Look out the window and all your hard work has been undone by the next fall of snow.:argh::argh::argh::argh::argh:

I actually like the cold of winter, and I like a wee bit of snow, just to turn the fields a bit white etc, but this.... this is too much.:argh::argh::argh::argh:

Buying it? Or decorating your own like it.

I guess you have to decorate your won to fit in with the rest of the street, 'cos the Americans don't have go in for the holiday season decorated houses.

Woo hoo! No snow overnight. First night for SEVEN nights it hasn't dumped 4 to 6 inches overnight. It looks a bit chilly out there but at least we don't need to dig the car out to get anywhere.

A.:thumbs up:

[The Dogfather]

We've only had a couple of inches as well, started digging out the motorhome as I'm worried about the weight of snow on the roof

[Craig]

Got to work again today... :frown: that's 5 days on the trot! It was -9 this morning whilst leaving the house....

I got stuck last night on a side road mostly cos I was trying to get back to a girl who had slid into a snow bank and was stuck. It got stuck because of beaching, prob cos if it being lowered :rolleyes:

Seriously considering a Yeti next, the Countryman is just too expensive

Seriously considering a Yeti next, the Countryman is just too expensive

There is a few on the Mini cherished site but I feel like the Cooper S are just over priced! You get to the price that you think I'd be wanting a “Works” for that.

MINI Cooper D Countryman 1.6 for around 23K love the fact it gets 60 MPG, my friend is getting her All 4 Countryman S this month, she needs in now all the same with this snow.

That's the coldest I've ever seen in a UK MINI, we saw -15.5 on the way home from a meal when we lived in Turriff. Not sure if that was the MINI or the Audi A2 though.

Drove up to Edinburgh today in our car and it hit -18 the south side of Soutra hill. By the time we got to Edinburgh it was showing -1.

Not so much a snow pic, but the result if the snow over the past week. Started thawing yesterday and people finally decided to get out and shop because they may never get another chance before Christmas.

This is the bread aisle in ASDA.

http://tapa.tk/mu/569bd608-3a6c-400f.jpg

[stoney]

FFS people just panic bying its daft !!!

[Stewart]

None of that panic buying here. Both the Asda, Morrisons and M&S were well stocked.

I remember in 1982 people were fighting for bread.

[Craig]

My local sainsburys is mental.... people panic buying all the time... idiots! :argh: although Crombers is doing a cracking job of keeping it stocked as best he can :thumbs up:

[Stewart]

Sainsbury Muirend is the shop I've been going to as it’s a nice 30 min walk from the house. But as Ladymack will tell you as she works there even on the worst days of the snow I was in and all was fine, full shelves. In fact I could pick the bread with the furthest sell by date at the back.
It could be that the central belt was hit hard around you Craig. The other day the Girl was joking at the till in Gifnock ( credit crunch what credit crunch.) but I think that was because a lot of people waited till the weekend to do there big shop and it was busy as the main roads were fine.

[The Dogfather]

Some pictures from our Snow Outing to Hamsterley Forest with the dogs, we came back across the moors near Consett on the way home.

[Scottie]

is that some ruffwear I see your dogs wearing???

[The Dogfather]

It is Fi, Elliott's is the Palisades Pack (http://www.outdoorgb.com/p/ruffwear_palisades_pack_ii/?utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=directory&utm_content=GBR&currency=GBP&country=GBR&SelectedBundle=149846) whereas Freya's is just the harness. It keeps them safe in the car but acts as a handle to pick them up when they get unruly or need lifting over a fence.

[Scottie]

I like the ruffwear really good kit. use the harness, leads and collars. The pack is handy and they can carry their own leads saves me from doing it.

I have this for Archie with all this snow he was struggling getting a decent walk as he was always balling up. Hurtta is good kit also.

Great pic's of the Dog's and the last two are an advert for Winter tyres! My coop with Rf normal would never make it, well it might but would be a slide fest.:smilewinkgrin:

[N16SHP]

Your dogs are gorgeous!! That is currently the type of dog at the top of my list, but the Mrs wants something else :( My in-law's Springer is absolutely mental in the snow...mind you, they are mental at the best of times ha ha!

[The Dogfather]

Collies aren't an easy dog to look after, they need lots of attention and need something to keep them occupied or they find their own job which might be something you don't want them to do. Oh, you also have to be careful with them around kids as they tend to nip fast moving objects.

Great photos Paul :thumbs up:.

Your dogs look lovely. Doesn't sound like they'd be suited to our family though - especially with our 6 year-old son as he moves pretty fast most of the time :lol:.

We have a Labrador, and he's very forgiving with kids - more so than me :smilewinkgrin:.

[stoney]

well there was no snow when i left at about 7am and when i got back in just about 12pm
there was no snow on the GP before i left this morning !!!!!

[The Dogfather]

I saw -15C today at Bradbury just off the A1. It was only -4C on top of the hill in Burnhope this morning but when I got to the bottom of the hill it had dropped to -12C and that's in about a mile.

When I left Darlington tonight it was already -9.5C :eek:

[Scottie]

well today is the most snow I'e seen in all my time here at Larbert. left at 7.50 got in at work 9.45 to travel just over 10 mile. So bad is it tonight I not going to try and get my car round in to the garage it is going to have to stay out side tonight.. not happy.

I heard the transport manager pulling all lorries from deliveries this morning there was to many stuck that it is costing us a fortune to get them recovered.

Oh and don't bother going to Sainsbury for your milk they couldn't make their collection today and we supply all of Scotland.

[GCA3N]

Amazing pics paul :thumbs up:

[Scottie]

couple of pics of Thomas in the snow in our back garden. Tom is 9 months old now and is 19" to the bottom part of his chest and the snow was coming up to his chest.

Miss Molly our collie is finding it not very nice she can't find a bit to do a wee. LOL

The temperature was actually minus 19 but was to dangerous to stop, by the time we found somewhere safe to stop it had risen slightly.
