Max,
The Interstate 90 (runs east/west) around Buffalo, NY was closed last night because of lake effect snow. Some people were stuck in their cars for over 12 hours and it's still snowing. Not 20 miles away in Niagara Falls, NY we have absolutely no snow at all. (Knock/touch wood... our turn will come!) Not fun for those who are stuck. vic

Max at the early stages of Winter -17c heading for 19-c below zero ,My question is how does this weather effect your bottom line financially?
Over 60 percent of the UK is now stalled and this is effecting the British and Scottish economy's
Tas has had the wettest Spring ever recorded for 2010 summer done a Runner all foggy,slippy wetter than spring like an Irish Bog even.
100 thousand Irish immigrants heading to TAS..
So to cheer you up Boating for the great escape is out

Snow birds frozen on the Lock.

All flights canceled

UK Sunny side up

They call these cars snow drops they won't re-appear till Spring . Guess that's why they call them Banger's and mush.
Hope you have high pitch roof on top of a hill.
Cheers and best of the Irish luck.
Richard

after getting stuck a couple of times in the snow last year i decided to improvise .
i have 6 blue pallets stacked at the back doors to give some weight and when i need to load the van i just lay them out flat and stack them again when empty worked a treat.i was even able to pull a merc car from a ditch with that setup.
and even covered in snow my babies still looks fantastic.


brrrrrrrr.

Vic, Sorry to hear your prediction has come true. Do you need a warm driveway?

Now Max when has the front of your van!... Ever been so Crystal clean? "A"
So it's cold ! But what a what a way to to drive home for Christmas.
Think of your poor Irish cousins in Victoria down under in "Floods" , Locust-plagues,mosquitoes, It's like Armageddon.
In the mean time, No fun down home."Not much sun". Humid! But! "Irish Murphy'' open at Salamanca, and I'm having a ball,just easygoing and taking Christmas in my stride.
Lunch Crayfish and prawns Girls, Girls every where. Some with long legs and short dress's that go all the way up to the ..I just had a senior moment. Oh" yes love the snow white trees, we don't have them, ours are green as ever, cause they are evergreens.
Merry Christmas Max
Richard

hi max

i'm in dublin too, have an 313cdi. i'm wondering have you moved to winter tyres? i made it to yesterday without difficulty, then got stuck on ice in my local superquinn! how embarassing. and then when i finally got it home, gave up on getting in my gate.. if this weather carries on in any way like this for the next few months, i can't keep it up on normal tyres.
