On nights this week, was up at 3 trying to clear the platforms of snow and grit them but it was a losing battle, by the time i'd cleared the snow, it had settled where I started lol

I only just got some snow yesterday, and a little more last night. I've not had a car to go out and play with though
Hopefully i'll get it back tonight.

not the snow, the fcukers that take a day off instead of making the effort to come in free day holiday, pisses me off. I always make the effort to get in

Whinge whinge whinge.
I love the snow. We don't get it often, and it causes a mear few days at a slower pace of our entire lifes, than what we normally would.
So no, no matter how many times i nearly slip over, or hit some black ice on the bike, or get the shakes coming back down my drive to my garage, I won't moan about it as it'll be gone in a few days.
Plus it looks soooooo preeeeettttyyyyy.

It's barely effected me, went to Bradford yesterday, they seemed to have had a fair bit.
I found it funniest when news reporters went to some place in the pennines where they'd had it bad. Everyone was out in it with sledges saying they couldn't get to work/school etc. Mmm, so how did the news reporters get there? 
It's all a farce anyway, half of London stopped on Monday cos they'd had a bit of snow and they 'couldn't get to work' yet a fella managed without a problem to get from his house, to his bank, then to Liverpool Street Station, then to Padington station, then up here to buy a car which he then drove back down.
Mmm, so half of London can't get to work but that fella and his missus can get around the country like any other day

Aye its pissing me off now an all.
Drive home last night was fine, snow all over the sides but a nice clear run down the middle. Was just like it had been raining. This morning, the same road in EXACTLY the same state folk were driving at 10mph down it becuase a couple of flakes were falling from the sky 
People panic like mad when it snows, fair enough slow down and go a little slower, but doing 10mph in a 60 zone is just plain stupid.

^ It isnt really, better safe than sorry, I will go as slow as I feel is safe, and you wait the fuck behind me, unless you want to act the tool and overtake
On topic, yes its annoying me, but only because of the level of incompetence by EVERY single person that comes down my 'no through road' to turn around, they all sit there spinning their wheels while trying to use their right foot USE THE FUCKING CLUTCH YOU RETARDS
Rant over

Until your job relys on the weather, you really don't realise just how shit the snow is

Agree to a point, but when people take it to the extreame it annoys me.
Maybe me being late for work didn't help matters either
