    i hardly think there being an inch or two of snow and it being -8 constitutes arctic conditions. british people are such twats when it comes to snow.

    i remember, in the good old days, when we used to have three feet of snow and nothing would close down. ok, this may not be strictly true, but there needed to be a lot more snow in those days to cause disruption. i remember being pulled to school on a sledge cause the car got stuck in the driveway, and there were still lessons at school. there were a lot less people there, but some of us made it, and a few teachers, and we all had activities in the hall :)

    driving in snow isn't too hard. take it slowly, drive in as high a gear as your car will let you, and if you skid, turn into it and don't panic. and turn gently too. easy peasy.

    Yes, we do over-react these days, but you've got to enjoy what you have. I just had a friend say he had about 6 inches in 5 minutes. :yeees:

    I hated going to primary school in the snow because none of my friends ever came in.

    It depends where you live as to wether you can say you have had artic conditions. Take the North East at approx 2pm today, then it was artic conditions. There was a very heavy lay of snow and the winds made it almost impossible to drive at one point because with the heavy snow and winds you couldnt see anything.
    Again this evening about 7ish we nipped to the shop and the winds were horrendous, very cold winds and heavy snow again.

    Re driving im not a driver but im going by what my hubby has said and that is that some drivers drive too slow. they are doing about 5 mph and its them ones who cause the accidents. If they cant handle the snow or have a vehicle which is crap in the snow then its simple.......park up and walk.

    you'll find usually it's the impatient people behind the person doing 5 mph who cause the accidents.


    you don't have to crawl along, but if it's really bad, it's better to go too slow than too fast. if you go into a skid, it's gonna be a hell of a lot worse the faster you go. someone on my LJ friends list learnt that lesson today. she is very lucky to be alive this evening.

    As me not being a driver I cant comment but my hubby says when someone is driving 5 mph they dont move the snow, if they speeded up just a touch then the snow would get swept outways or sommat and get rid of the snow quicker, thus making it safer driving conditions. But like I say here today at one point he parked up because he just couldnt see anything.

    Ah dunno, sommat like that anyway lol.

    Also a lot of people do not know how to handle skids (says he), they panic and slam the brakes on making it worse.

    Hope you LJ friend is ok :(
