Watch out folks, roads pretty bad. Especially inland from Aberdeen.

[BrianFaePerth]

Hope tae fuck it's all gone by Christmas. Dinna want to spend my holiday driving round on summer tyres on icy roads.

[vanderark14]

took 30 minutes just to get from the toll of birness to ellon today due to a lorry being stuck there. I am not even going to attempt the rest of the journey to Aberdeen till later on.

 

the snow isn't even that bad

[Stoney]

Snow not that bad, but its the utter fucking idiots that make it dangerous.

 

Would be very surprised if the volvo 4 x 4 driving through dyce at 60mph hasnt killed somebody yet.

Maybe he's the only one ower there who actually knows how to drive in snow?

Aye driving head on into on coming traffic in these conditions is the way to go. Driving less the 4ft away from cars doing a decent speed when the roads are slippy.........

 

Wont surprise me at all to open the paper one day and see hes featured, only thing that worries me that the way he drives hes going to take some poor sucker with him.

 

Just delighted hes not driving towards me in the mornings!

[Bluto10]

no snow here.

cold though.

 

cycling to work in snow is ace fun.

you also have the idiots driving at 25mph when there is no snow on the road, they are just as infuriating as the twats that drive too fast.

[BrianFaePerth]

[BrianFaePerth]

You mean you didnt just give your car away to a relative with the understanding that you get to use it when you come back?

 

You cheap jute bastard.

 

Oh, and hire a 4x4

Yer right, it's common practice amongst those who emigrate to gie their car tae fowk so they can use it when they're back on holiday. Eh feel such a fool

Many moons ago driving into Aberdeen for work in terrible snow some wanker didn't realise everyone was... you know, going bloody slowly, and accelerated and clipped the right rear of my car and put me into a graceful slow anti clockwise spin onto the other side of the road with an ASCo truck coming the other way. Managed to spin it out of the way and off the road rather than let the truck hit me but yeah. "Fond" memories of the Toll of Birness corner in the snow.

there was a lorry stuck there this morning which meant traffic was queuing from hatton to Aberdeen

Stoney, do you live in Dyce? I thought Dyce was ok this morning it wasnt until i hit auchmill that the balloon drivers, mostly nervous women started their shit. Women shouldnt be allowed to drive in the snow, they canna handle it at all.

 

I however have perfected the handbrake turn

Wait... were you the wanker that clipped me?!!

Newmachar for me,

 

Na no problems for me, just that one clown going far too fast for the conditions, and then overtaking coming up to two junctions is just idiotic.

 

Slow drivers dont bother me that much! I'd rather be 5 minutes late than harrass somebody into making a mistake, ideally folk not confident about driving in the snow would take other forms of transport.

Just wondered, I saw you had mentioned drinking in the 'trees a while ago thats all. Spiders is a dons pub, trees has some loudmouth huns min

[Poodler]

aye, 'bluenose' being chief hun. His wife has a mattress in the garage she makes him sleep on when he comes hame pished though haha

[Dynamo]

An hour to get in from Westhill today. Wasn't that bad, went the back road, worst bit was Great Western Road cos of an accident.

[Dynamo]

Aye there but it was constantly moving til you got over the roundabout I saw so I turned right towards Cults.

if folk just leave at their usual time and accept they'll be half hour late it probably wouldn't be as bad, but everyone sees the snow and thinks "fuck" and get out the house as quick as they can.

[GK55]

1hr 45 to get from Balmedie to Rubislaw this morning. Pish!

[rgudon]

Putting my Discovery up for sale this weekend, nothing like an inch of snow to add a grand to the asking price..

[boboisared]

Wait... were you the wanker that clipped me?!!

Ha ha no, just the image you gave was pretty vivid. Must be a bit humorous to look back at now?

[Dandyesque]

I have a tendency to sit at 25-30mph when there's snow and couldnt give a hoot about the drivers behind.

 

My car is shit in the snow though, so I feel fully justified - can't even get winter tyre to fit the wheels either.

 

The ones that annoy me are BMW drivers who year after year seem to fail to realise that rear wheel drive is hopeless - 50% of the road blockages seem to be caused by Beamers

[Stoney]

Spiders used to be my local! Lot of good friends till drink in there.

 

Just practice darts in the greentrees because the board is always empty! Plus theres a space for the wife to sit and watch haha.

Cycling to work? I thought you were a supposedly fatty boom boom?
