Tony Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 We have had rather a lot of snow fall in the last 24 hours here in Freiburg, south west GermanyWe went out 3 times yesterday and i had to rid the car of snow each time, when we got back at 17:00 the car had no snow on it.And now this morning there was 30 Cm / 1 foot of snow on it.And just to annoy the English guys on the forum, all public transport is running fine and on time ;) Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Round here, we still have to pay the gross petrol prices inflicted upon us by the government, in their attempts to force us onto public transport, and yet this public transport is almost non existent. I have a bowls match later on today, it will take me less than twenty minutes to get there by car, but by public transport, at least three different buses, followed by a long walk. Rant over.

nellie2 Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 We had little more than an inch of snow... everything ground to a halt as per usual... oh and the landing stage for the Mersey Ferries at Pier Head sank too!!!http://www.bbc.co.uk/liverpool/content/art...e_feature.shtmlI went down to Birkenhead today and had a look across the river and it's all gone apart from a little bit of roof sticking up out of the water!! :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted March 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 Umm driving today has not been much of a problem, the sun has been out most of the day. The roads were mostly very slushy, the sides roads wre a bit worse. but tomorrow morning will be a bit different, as it has now dropped to below - °C and all the slushy stuff will be just rock hard ice.I start a new job tomorrow, so i just hope that i can get there in time.This was the most snow we have had here in the city in one fall for 20 years.At the top of the mountain "feltburg" which is only 1/2 hour drive away just over 4 metres of snow fell :0 Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet another lovely sunny morning round here, but damned cold with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
