For once everyone can keep their snow, unless it isn't going to affect me getting to work!

We had about 5 minutes worth of snow, but none stuck. I was already with the snowplough & Roundjack as well...Bah!

Snowplough? you don't need one of those, use Britomart, it'll melt all the snow away while it's on fire, well, thats what I'm planning at least :lol:

I was supposed to be going to Congleton for a garden railway meet - when I got off the A500 north of Stoke nothing was moving (much) and the snow was making driving treacherous so I turned round and came home!

Thats it you have discovered the secret.

If you don't want snow blocking your track buy a snowplough and it won't snow.

It's worked for me so far too :lol:

No snow on the indoor K&NWLR

After all the comment on the great outdoors on this forum, I should mention that it´s been snowing in this part of France, but there´s been no need for a snowplough on the indoor K&NWLR.
