ok we got snow..

The roofs better, if its cut off correctly.. you have four handles then :wiggle:
 
Our snow left us today here in DE. Hight of 52*s today, and it sure felt nice once you got out of the wind. Looks like Monday night a big storm will hit off the east cast. Slifght chance we'll see heavy snows here. If we get the heavy stuff, maybe I can used the 50" snowblower for the first time in 4 years. :d

Back in my college days we used the food trays out of the cafeteria to slide down the hills. The brave idiots used them to stand on and slide down the street on campus. Most did the " east coast wipe out" when they hit the bare spots on the street. :costumes:
 
that would have done it, you need to be scanning like a sniper and brace for impact :woot:
 
Had fun taking my son to school this morning, switched the traction control off, boy that was fun ! OK, drifting turned into a 180 at one point, but all done safely of course.

My Mrs sister still has a Mini, the pair of them are mini mad. Closest thing to a go-kart
 
I nearly got wiped out this morning by a Mini. Note to self, don't take dog for walk on icy snow, on a narrow road that parents and pupils drive to school on!
 
The Mini was my first "road legal" car. It was a '78 998cc model that I pulled the engine out of and fitted a 1275cc Cooper engine in it's place. Also fitted the obligitory set of 10" Minilite alloy wheels. Was great fun on the back roads....but the standard drum brakes all round made braking a "challenge"!:help::redface:
 
Six inches in London and ALL bus services are cancelled. There is not one bus running today. And most of the tube services are disrupted.
Day off then :woot:
 
All my London bound trains cancelled today, so "working" from home :woot:

Been to the local hill and thrown myself down it a couple of times, no Mini roof or bonnet just a tray from the local cafe.
 
growing up we used to sled at rockford park on my flexible flyer. it was the fastest in all of 40 acres! we also used to go to the hercules golf course hust off of 48 near hockessen, using cardboard boxes. i had a buddy who did that at the vfw club in browntown. he went under a car and cut his ear off on the tail pipe. we carried it home in a tissue and the docs put it back on him.
 
we got snow here as well :d, but typical southeners, bit a snow and it all grinds to a halt :173go1:

and all this talk of minis makes me want one more and more .. someone got one laying around that they dont want anymore? :engel016:
 
I feel your pain

Summer's almost here in Michigan ...we can now see the deer moving around.
Yep, won't be long.

I think i've ruined my eyes! I had a good early stomp home through the fields with a huge grin on my face followed by a bit of snow skating until the heavy snow started to sting too much and now I have eye ache.

I love snow :woot:
 
Hahah nice

A few flakes here is all we get-thats what being by the sea :(
So all of the cold but none of the fun-would rather be tucked up in the warm than stuck in work

And how on earth doe s the London Underground get shut down by snow-I can understand some of it being shut-the above ground suburban bits where I used to live, but a lot of it is, well, by definition.."underground"
Go figure!

The problem (we are told) is that all but the Victoria line has it's start and end point above ground so the trains can't even get started. Mayor Boris Johnstone tells us that as this is a freak occurance there is no point in London buying snow ploughs to use once every twenty years or so and we'll all just have to put up with it for a day or two and walk to work if we can :running:
 
Haven't had snow here in North Carolina in like 10 years....

I like snow too...very much so...


I too used to use the school cafeteria food trays to go down on...they are fasttttttttttttttt......LOL:friday:
 
aye the good old memories..

The wife nipped out side so I couldnt resist trying to start a snow ball fight.. she declined :(
 
walking to Lakeview Park with our skates over our shoulders - playing for hours on the lake until our feet felt like they were made of wood...

trudgng back home and propping them in front of the fireplace until they started to tingle...and then hurt like unholy He11 ! for an hour as the blood slowly recirculated - swearing we would never stay out there that long again and then staying even longer the very next day.

Pond Hockey is a wonderful thing.

Sledding down the snow covered hills of the park was always fun - we used the long wooden sleighs with no runners - just an 8' long laminated wooden sled turned up at the end - we would all push like mad bobseldders and then pile on and go careering down a crazy hill with a maple tree about halfway down whose roots made a natural ski-jump for us...the trick of course was to get close enough to the tree to make use of the jump without actually striking the tree...hahahah

I smell pie and fireplaces and snow covered ice...
 
Snow? What's that? It's been 70 degrees here (20 degrees C for you metric folks) for the last couple weeks.
