Anyone had any proper snow?

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

Sure, just stick it in an envelope and pop it in the mailbox.

If you are sending us some snow over by post can you use a 1st class stamp on it please as if you use 2nd class you stand the risk of it melting :lol:

We had about eight inches but only lasted a day or so before melting. Still had a good day out though :)

There was a very light dusting of tiny hailstones here half an hour ago, but they immediately melted as the ground was still too warm. And it stopped after 10 minutes.

I have a feeling that's the best I'm getting...

Sorry just have to say.....
We only got about half this year as we got last year...... Still over 30" total over 3 months wasn't bad.
It was too much for my 500cc Suzuki powered Arctic Cat snowmobile that got stuck as soon as I got it off the drive. It just sank into the powder. Too much for a 2500lb winch on an AtV to pull it out.
I'll have to look into posting photos.
