SNOW!
I know some of the Z4 owners in colder climates will just laugh at the pitiful amount of snow we get in the UK, but I'm quite impressed with yesterday's snow efforts. The Z4's tucked away in the garage with no need for it to leave (yet) but at least this years that's actually an option: most of the neighbours got stuck in and cleared the 200yds or so of road down to the main road by hand - estimated at 12-18" of snow on the roofs of cars yesterday, and more fallen since...

Re: SNOW!
The excavation work that your estate has achieved makes the building of the Channel tunnel seem like a stroll in the park, and yikes it is only November (just)

Re: SNOW!
Not sure on drams, we were all completely knackered after that effort - really feeling the effects today and have a load of clearing to do again when I get home. Best to stay on top of it though

Re: SNOW!
Latest estimate is around 18-24" of snow having fallen since 10pm Friday night. No sign of it melting anytime soon - the forecast is for it barely to reach above zero deg C for the next 7 days or so
Tired from all this manual labour - I'm not cut out for that sort of work lol.

Re: SNOW!
That is a LOT of snow, good work getting it cleared Looks like Eastern Canada
At least it isn't -37 like it was here, although I'll take the low temps over a heart attack from shovelling all that white shite anyday. Thankfully, we only got about 6" last week .

Re: SNOW!
Still falling
Yesterday's commute into work
2010-11-30 Roadrat + snow (1) by ally mitchell, on Flickr
And these were this morning after we'd cleared the road. Again. It's since snowed pretty much constantly since and there's a further 3-4" ont eh bits we just cleared. Estimated total depth that's fallen since Friday night is 30-36" (2.5-3 foot!). The Z4 is obviously going nowhere lol.

Re: SNOW!
We need to send you a couple of Polar Bears and a dog sled, they'd feel right at home. That is a serious amount of snow..anywhere, including here.
Don't strain anything shovelling, that stuff is heavy....
