Good Morning Fools
We've got thick snow here in Dorset this morning - I was wondering who else has recieved a dusting?
-
-
I've got snow aswell. By the sounds of it most places have it. All i know is that the Lake District is covered too.

Denmark has been covered in snow for a week now! I hate snow! D: -

-
small bit of snow here but enough to form ice when trampled and to slip on.. which happened to me
-
On Tuesday I woke up to 3 inches of snow, and then at lunchtime we had another 2 inches lay in about 30 minutes. Was quite annoying as I was at work and had spent 3 hours clearing snow from pathways, in front of our hangars etc. (first thing in the morning - I start work at 6am) ... so after the fall at lunchtime, I had to go out and do it again.
The next day at work (wednesday) it was -11 degrees Celcius when I got to work. Well, when I eventually got to work, as my car doors were frozen shut and the drivers door lock had frozen up completely! Took 20 mins with the heaters on full before I could open the door! (managed to get the passenger door open ... eventually). -
Slightly off topic soul , but what's ya job ? And it took me 20 mins in the cold to open my door today heh

-
We got around 1 foot and a half of snow during the past 2 days. Hardly anything to cancel school, normal though for Canada
-
Theres always snow here is Canada eh!
But seriously where I live it we have had very little snow, but we've had a dusting every now and again -
It decided instead of snowing, it would rain all night in Sunderland.
Eeee its grim up north

I'm a Helicopter Engineer, and we fly people out to the oil rigs in the North Sea. (Southern North Sea to be precise ... for my base).
And Q - your car is FWD not RWD - so you can't drift in the snow

Ahh so naive. you can drift FF type cars its just bloody difficult to and doesn't last long (litterally talking a few seconds), but it is just do able. just kick the back end out and see how long you can hold it.
So thats what i was doing, kicking the back end out (by some serious oversteer caused by the snow) and quickly countersteering which allowed the back end to kick out for a few seconds
Defanition here: Drifting is a driving technique where the driver intentionally oversteers, causing loss of traction in the rear wheels, while maintaining control from entry to exit of a corner. A car is drifting when the rear slip angle is greater than the front slip angle, to such an extent that often the front wheels are pointing in the opposite direction to the turn (e.g. car is turning left, wheels are pointed right or vice versa). -
Just thought I'd add a few pictures to show you what it's been like over my way.
Pictures include:
- My car giving itself a moustach
- One of our helicopters
- And a shot of how my road's been since we got the snow 
It's starting to melt here now - but I just came up with an idea - why doesn't someone make a snow Creeper
