Lillehamring Posted 9 February 2009 Posted 9 February 2009 ...you go out to scrape the ice of the car windows, and discover that there is ice ON THE INSIDE!!!! i swear to god, on every inch of window inside there was as much ice as you'd normally get on the outside... so we had to drive to the boat with the inside of the car full of snow!
StanSP Posted 9 February 2009 Posted 9 February 2009 ...you get on about 3 layers, ready to brave the cold, walk outside the door. One second of braving the cold,and you turn back in to get more layers on.

What the hell were you doing in the car last night to get that much moisture inside it to freeze!?!?!
C-man Posted 9 February 2009 Posted 9 February 2009 ... when over a week after it snowed first, 10% of cars still drive around covered in snow. On the way to Walsall last week, I had about 8 inches of snow on my roof, I opened my door to get my scraper and about half a tonne of snow fell on my seat. Wet arse the whole way down

On the way to Walsall last week, I had about 8 inches of snow on my roof, I opened my door to get my scraper and about half a tonne of snow fell on my seat. Wet arse the whole way down Yeah, I did that AND then realised my mirrors were frozen against the car (they store away). So I lowered my window to force them out and loads of snow fell in. The snow made me moody. I also cleared Rachel's windscreen of snow, but couldn't find my scraper so did it with my hand. My hand was in agony for hours.
cisono Posted 9 February 2009 Posted 9 February 2009 When you piss outside and it freezes. Cannot say I've tried that

Ha I had same prob a few nights ago! Dashboard looked like it had been snowed on when i scraped it all of!

Wet arse the whole way down i believe it's actually illegal to drive over here with snow on your roof, in case it slides off and blocks your view.
Phube Posted 9 February 2009 Posted 9 February 2009 i believe it's actually illegal to drive over here with snow on your roof, in case it slides off and blocks your view. Don't you have wind screen wipers over there then?
Lillehamring Posted 9 February 2009 Author Posted 9 February 2009 What the hell were you doing in the car last night to get that much moisture inside it to freeze!?!?! ha - it wasn't my car! all i know is that over the weekend it got buried waste deep in snow and this morning, well it was minus 16.... but i've never seen anything like it. to get to the friends house i had to get a ferry and there was pack ice on the sea, only about an inch thick so it actually flexed when the boat's wake hit it -
Lillehamring Posted 9 February 2009 Author Posted 9 February 2009 Don't you have wind screen wipers over there then? um, yeah, but the snow is about a foot thick.....
BoneDog Posted 9 February 2009 Posted 9 February 2009 ...You whip it out to impress the local bike, and its only 1" I don't think the local bike cares. They think along the lines of "another pole another goal"
lookwhaticando Posted 9 February 2009 Posted 9 February 2009 i believe it's actually illegal to drive over here with snow on your roof, in case it slides off and blocks your view. Ditto here. It's partly to stop it obscuring your view... and mostly about not obscuring the view for the car behind you. There's a few idiots who don't clear their cars upper surfaces, and so the vehicle behind them pretty much ends up driving through a thick cloud of blowing snow.

Uncle Monty Posted 10 February 2009 Posted 10 February 2009 Its crazy man everywhere seems to be suffering apart from Cardiff, the weather here has been very mild - today is very sunny.
cisono Posted 11 February 2009 Posted 11 February 2009 Crazy how it felt WARM yesterday. And my car seemed to think it was 2 degrees...
Lillehamring Posted 11 February 2009 Author Posted 11 February 2009 Crazy how it felt WARM yesterday. And my car seemed to think it was 2 degrees... currently -14 (feels like -18) and yet i am sitting in a t-shirt (indoors)
Lillehamring Posted 11 February 2009 Author Posted 11 February 2009 just checked the forecast for tomorrow, and when i have to leave the house the temperature (with wind chill) is -23 degrees C (that's -7 fahrenheit)... i really really don't fancy that...

lookwhaticando Posted 12 February 2009 Posted 12 February 2009 i swear to god, as soon as you hit the cold air, something in your nose seems to freeze, it's like having glue up there, so weird. That only usually happens to me when it dips below -20. But you can definitely feel the hairs within your nose beginning to stick together. It's unnatural. At 20 below, your breath's moisture will freeze onto your scarf if you've deployed one across your mouth and nose. That's not so cool. You get a face full of ice - exactly what you were hoping to avoid by putting the bloody scarf on.
