It snowed down here in North Spain, but melted as soon as it hit the ground.

It feels like it's been raining for about a month.

Nice shots, you really did get some didn't you! We had a very light dusting yesterday morning but that big snow front never made it here.

That almost looks like what we had on Monday here in Ohio but by Tuesday it all melted.

Thunderstorms? Check.
Gale Winds? Check.
Cancerous Sun? Check.

Snow? That's a negative good buddy.

Top shots Ryan. That's how I like snow, looking at it. Both my boys say its their favourite weather; I've told them that'll change as soon as they have to drive in it.

Why yes, I am a miserable bugger

Gareth · **Reply #17 on:** December 05, 2008, 01:31:22 AM

God yes, I really hate driving in heavy snow. $:-\$

Neil · **Reply #18 on:** December 05, 2008, 01:37:13 AM

Or worse. heavy snow, freezes overnight and next day you get to go car skating. The worst was around '95 or '96 when I was living in Liverpool, even the main roads in the city were lethal, doing 360 in the middle of a set of traffic lights in only fun to look back on

Gareth · **Reply #19 on:** December 05, 2008, 01:41:28 AM

I had to watch in horror last night as a taxi slowly and gently slid staight at my parked car. Fortunatly it stopped before it hit but the look on the drivers face was priceless. Mine was probably a picture as well.

Neil · **Reply #20 on:** December 05, 2008, 01:50:19 AM

eek! I'm glad to say that despite numerous close calls, the worst my ice skating has ever done is take out a wheelie bin and luckily it was empty

Neil

Mike, Lord of the Spammers! · **Reply #21 on:** December 05, 2008, 08:09:14 AM

Let e get this strait, you both hate driving in snow with your nice heated, 4 wheeled unfalloffable platforms

Try doing it on a Fireblade with 140 bhp at the back wheel

Cyling in it, is too much fun either $:-\$ , at least not with all the muppety tin top pilots loosing control every 3.4 seconds

I just had an interesting thought.

What happens when you go over a Steel road plate that's been iced?

My yard 15 minutes ago. I never see deer like this when I am hunting.

Gareth · **Reply #25 on:** December 05, 2008, 04:58:51 PM

That'd because the deer know what a high power rifle looks like.

Fantastic pic. Do you get snowed in ever?

Not really snowed-in. We get heavy snows but, despite how it looks, I live in a small city (65,000). No matter what I need to go to work, but with heavy snow on a day-off...we have a family "snowed-in" day.

If your reflexes are still pretty quick, you'll just have a brown trouser moment

If not you'll either loop the bike when the tyre grips, or the back wheel kicks out to the side and you end up pointing at oncoming traffic, or a dirty great snow bank
