Thumbs up snow in Kent UK.

Im just about fed up with all this snow we are having in Chatham UK, i just wanna cruise in my 54 Convertible.You can see my wife's Mini in the driveway but the 54 is tucked away in my garage. I also think it was a good idea to walk to the shops via the Pub

I feel your pain!!!!! We've had nothing but snow, and I've had enough already. It's not even our "bad" months for snow yet, lol!!

Booootiful!!
I love snow - so soothing to look at...... Of course I do not see it often - mostly in pics.
Yes, I agree much safer to walk - and even better to stop by the pub on the way home! The insides need a warmin...
(I miss those great little English pubs over there...

Ah yes the Pub, I do miss that from my visit to the UK. In every village we visited and from every bed and breakfast there was always a short walk to a nice Pub. Always easy to intermingle with the locals and have a good time. Good way to spend a snowing afternoon/evening.

For a Werewolf, a gorilla, Cousin It or Robin Williams that works too.

Lived for 2 years in Suffok (1965-67), never saw more than 1/2 inch of snow at a time. Seems the winters are getting a lot more snow there now. It was real smoggy back then so we got rain instead. Love those pubs but had to be careful when leaving or I would forget and drive on the wrong side of the road. lol

Snow in the forecast! The TV weather gal said she was expecting 8 inches tonight, I thought to myself "fat chance" with a face like that!

If it will make you feel better over in Jolly England , we here in the colonies [Ontario,Canada] are under 3 feet of the Jolly Ho Ho Ho white Christmas cheer! Luckily , we have GREAT beer to drink while thinking up excuses not to outside and shovel or use the snowblower. I'm still ticked that they cancelled the Chelsea-Man. U. game! Merry Christmas to all !

Dereck- Just because you received all that snow up there doesn't mean you can rub it in me and my broom are on stand-by

No snow in Boston yet but we've been getting January temperatures for the past two weeks, I can still take my car out but today I disconnected the battery and added the fuel stabilizer. Snow predicted in the next couple days, the amount doesn't really matter, the roads will be salted.

Kent is a county in the south east of the UK. A bit you have states in your country.

I even put my 07 Grand Marquis away for the winter. I'm sick of salt destroying my cars. I kept my 00 as my general purpose beater rather than sell it or trade it in, though it's a pretty nice beater.

Wise move Destructor, not worth the hassle the salt will eat your car in know time.
