I don't mind a bit of snow. I'm just grateful that the gales have died down. I spent half of yesterday looking for my fence. Total carnage around here!

One snow shower when I was driving from Grangetown to Rumney

I feel for you.
Mine got damaged a couple of years ago, but could only be patched up as I was nursing a broken kneecap, so it had to wait.
Then some 'kind' people decided to help rip it down before I had the stuff to repair it, so I tied it up, replaced what was salvageable - and the bastards cut the rope and ripped it down again! :angry:

So I had to replace the whole lot.:furious:

Mine's not looking so bad now - I can't see much of it for the layer of snow that came down in the last 2 hours (as not predicted by the BBC Weather service!). If I'm lucky - once the snow has gone - it may only be 3 posts and 2 panels to replace. Oh yes, and the gales are back (50+ mph gusts).

I'm on flood watch. Front door 100 yards from tidal Trent. Fingers crossed.

It's a good job the snow in Wales wasn't too bad because it seems our snow gritters were busy on the M62

Would've hated to have been the car stuck directly behind that.
Would've hated it even more to be in a car in front mind.
