Great, thanks for sharing it with us!

Hi

I have a fond memory of a birthday party I had when I was very young, it snowed very heavy all night, and as our drive was on a very steep slope we allways had to clear the drive to get out. Then we got home only to find it was even worse and had to clear the drive again.

Then as I was a little older we used to go sleding at a water resevoir, but one that was underground, so when you had climbed to the top of it, there were very steep sloped down the sides! great fun.

I would love to live on a hill again, we used to get snow all of the time, now we are lucky to get an inch or two, but people still seem to grind to a halt over that!

Sorry reminsing over now! Crying or Very sad

Cheers

Dave

I'll bet you that little Ford, passing under the railway arch, didn't have a heater. Can you just imagine the freezing hands and feet of the driver? Shocked

Hi

Don't need to imagine, I got frozen on a run a few years back when my heater in the mini Clubman got stuck on blowing cold air, my sister was less than impressed and had flu for a couple of weeks following. Quite comical, as we had blankets on, over each of us, felt more like driving a veteran!

Cheers

This 1957 Chevy was posted on another website, then I posted it here, in the Classic Cars forum, but it would fit here better......

Just had our first dusting of snow here in the deep south... not enough to photograph but here's one I found earlier. Set in a village not far away.

Hi

Please don't let it snow here, I used to love it snowing, now on a work day it is a pain in the bum! I love cold days, but only if they are dry, just imagine if we had no damp cold days/nights, we would have no road salt!! hehe

Cheers
