snow in guildford

Post by andysleigh » Sun Apr 06, 2008 8:43 pm

well, i cant say i was delighted to get snow, because it stopped driver training (or in my case,  get a drive all day) at gmes. but i managed to get onto the jnr's maxitrak diesel electric.

but at home it was fun,  throwing snowballs at the dog,  her eating them,   me slipping,  and a cold mamod in the cold snow.

Nice pics Andy's dad!

At the crack of dawn(when I wasn't awake), snow had settled between the sleepers on the railway, dad took some pictures though. It snowed for the rest of the morning, didn't settle :( .

It is great to see that it is snowing down south for a change, so late in the season, although we had a good snow drop with a passing Trough of Low Pressure yesterday.

I remember when I lived in Surrey and at the first drop of snow it was chaos. Cars and Lorries crashing on country lanes. One of our receptionists refused to drive in the snow so I had to pick her up. Of course coming from Scotland and living in Aberdeen for some time, driving in the snow became 2nd nature.

Hope you've all got the sand bags ready for the next round of flooding!
