 Snow Place Like Home (Sorry)

Hyndland Road in the Snow
We are sooo unprepared for this weather in Glasgow. Last night apparantly there was no taxi service in the city centre so thousands of people who’d been at clubs etc as this unfolded were stranded in the city for hours!

This was my street this afternoon at around 2.30 with rather more cars on it than usual as most people were probably more sensible than us, however we proceeded to try and dig the car out of over a foot of snow (worsened by the fact the road had been ploughed I’m guessing) to go to the supermarket for a cooked chicken!!!

Parking's no (snow) problem.
Parking however was much more fun :P point the car at the side of the road and hope we stop before we hit something, I’ll say one thing for my car - it has no issue with driving THROUGH snow, just getting out of it that seems to be a problem.
