It was amazing looking at the radar to see that area of LP just pivot right round and not move from Portsmouth,Woking,Oxford that general region and just dump a shit-load of snow there.

Must be pretty bad down there i would imagine by now..over a foot anyways possiby more..and when that area of HP moves in by friday night-time temps will be down to -15 even as low as -20. :oh:

Anyone seen 'The Day after tommorow' :err:

Got down to about -2c last night not causing to many problems though. Still, an inch of snow is a pathectic excuse to keep school closed ANOTHER day?

Blimey that's brrrrrr freezing to say the least!

Deisel I believe 'freezes' (Gel's up?) at around -10 and not even the glow plugs help out.....seeing as so many cars are not Petrol anymore that'll create more problems!

Me mam is from Brecon herself, and has always said how bad it used to get near the river.

Been bad round the Crickhowell area at all? Some of the relatives are still in the area.

I think its about 14 to 15c it gets a bit thick and starts too freeze, only other problem is without glowplugs making a difference the oil thickens up and batterys dont work too well in the cold then the engine cant get compression quick enough to combust. Had this problem the other day in the van (Iveco C1135 Tipper) So used a bit of easy start and fired up straight away!

Minus 8c when I got up this morning, back to minus 5 now.

Minus 14.5 when I got to work this morning. And a nice mild minus 7 when I left.

We need to start burning the environmentalists to keep warm.
Where you came from, is gone.
Where you thought you were going, was never there.
And where you're at right now, aint no good, unless you can get away from it.
