Snow!

Isle of Man

ah right, it's 10" thick here! And still snowing...

Came home from Crimbo hols in Plymouth, on Sunday, to find my steep, 30m long driveway, under 80cm of snow.

Spent 2 hours digging a route to walk to and from the house Sunday;
spent 2 hours digging a route to the car yesterday; and
spent 1 hour diggin out said car and reclearing the driveway this morning.

Still, cycling has been interesting/scary/fun :)

Need pictures Smallfurry.

Dont have any at work. Plenty at home though.

Including a good one of my 4 year old standing on a snow pile digging down to the roof of the car!

Did he go in through the sunroof?

TBH the extent of the burial was mainly due to snow sliding off the roof of the house. In the end I dug down to the driver door and simply drove the car forward leaving a nice car shaped mold behind (well a 1/3 of one)

True I cant complain.
Not being able to ride up or down your own driveway, on a bike you actually put together yourself, while living at the forementioned abode. Is a tad embaressing though*.

LongJohns or Lycra under the jeans today, maybe sweatPants under the jeans..
Whats best?

Lycra, no jeans.

I wore shorts.

HTFU

Shorts, 3/4 tights, Saints socks pulled up... job done.

If we do get loads of snow tonight, is it a good idea to let the tyres down slightly? Is 110psi a good idea in the snow? Any thoughts?

I like your fake arrospok.

Jeans suck in cold weather.

I'd run them a touch below the recommended min. wont make much difference though.
I run my winter tyres (42mm) at 45 PSI in bad weather (recommended 50 - 65 PSI).

phones mum in tears

Think again..

That is clearly Jesus.
