Vovakr Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 How do you do people of Sheffield, I’ve heard you got a lot of snow out there lately. Just as we are actually – there was a terrible snowstorm, uncommon even for these places on Thursday evening. But terrible is not the word 4 it: I LOVE THIS KIND OD WEATHER! Storms, lightning, heavy fog, severe rain or intensive snowfall. Especially when feeling warm, drinking hot drink or on the contrary – walking long distances with proper overcoat! That’s what I did! Sheer excitement! But what is this? I can’t detect the mechanism. Maybe something from the prehistoric ages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackthedog Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 I should imagine our 'snowstorm' wasnt quite as good as the one in Sergiev Posad. The snow fell for about 15 minutes, leaving a thin coating which froze over quite quickly, and the entire country came to a standstill. Pathetic really! We cant cope with any extreme weather.

Yes standstill must be not that pleasant really. But maybe this is all because of the “summer”-type tires as for the cars? I don’t know whether it is common in the UK but most Russian drivers change it twice a year. Or just don't drive at all during winter months Hope everyone is OK.

jackthedog Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 No, we have the same tyres all year. Most people dont even know what snow chains are! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vovakr Posted January 30, 2004 Author Share Posted January 30, 2004 It's not snow chains. It's only hovercraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duffman Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 I love the snow (when i'm off work) and living up a hillside makes for great sledging, but haven't had a decent amount of snow in years to do it:( I'm going to visit Russia one day and when I do I want lots of snow:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really meant not this but winter tyres, these ones with little rubber sticks around. Not snow chains really. Duffman, I’ll do what I promised here today.
