We have not really had that much, about 5 inches Sunday night and a light dusting last night. We live in a private close of 4 and I am the only silly bu&&er who ever maintains the shared drive / clears leaves from the shared drive (and everybody else's drive and garden to stop them blowing about) / attacks the evil Leylandii of the neighbour in the old house beside us (anyone got any "Agent Orange"?)...So The job of compacted ice /snow fell upon me. I did get some encouragement from one neighbour. People keep on about how this is the worst snow the SE has had for 18 years. ISTR that the last vaugely bad snow we had here was in 1987, when even rotary blower snow plough train got wiped out. http://davidburrin.fotopic.net/p24371994.html (Ashford, Kent) Of course even our American cousins can get it wrong http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tF2ZPRmocs4 But in the model world right! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7zke2aHKPE&feature=related -- Neil Arlidge - NB Earnest Follow the travels of TNC, now in Ireland http://www.tuesdaynightclub.co.uk/tour.html
