It’s been a while since we’ve had a serious snow storm – it took my colleague seven hours to get home last night (instead of one), because of the weather & traffic! Almost 8″ of snow fell, but it left nice views today:
I drove home in GBMINI#5 last night … on route 22 in Essex grip was very poor, due to ice under the snow; but back in Gloucester I had no problems driving up quite steep slopes to get home, including passing a stranded pick-up truck. Apparently GBMINI#5s all-season tires are good enough 🙂
Meanwhile, GPMINI stayed at work, part buried in the snow!
And spare a thought for Josh who left the office about 3pm yesterday – and didn’t get home till 10pm! A 1 hour drive turned in to 6 hours (plus stops!) …
Today we got proper snow – the forecast is 5″ or more; it’s very light and fluffy but still very slippery to drive on – mostly because the roads were already icy! Still, it makes for a cool picture 🙂
Also “cool” today … GBMINI#5 sounds it’s low fuel alarm. It displays a neat gas pump graphic on the tach, and impressively changes the color of the fuel gauge lights from orange to red:
And, also “cool” a couple of days ago – a Lamborghini parked at Sublime Restorations (where Josh was having a windshield replaced on Sam’s MINI):
