Today [6]

Been very rainy here, but lows in mid 40's and highs in mid 50's, so no complaints. A Guy

We only had a bit of snow last night and there is nothing in Bexhill or Hastings. So dad has gone to Bexhill window cleaning with his stepladder, at least he can earn some money today.

As long as we do not have any more snow tonight, my driving lesson should go ahead tomorrow morning. Also that will be a good way to see what it to drive in the snow/icy conditions etc.

The most important thing is to be gentle.....ease on the accelerator gently, and don't stomp hard on the brakes or yank on the steering wheel either....try to be smooth in your motions. Apply your brakes a little earlier than usual, and watch out for the other drivers.

At least over here in the US, it seems like a lot of drivers don't know enough to take it easy in the snow and ice, so I just assume they are going to screw up and I give them a wide berth. Hopefully over where you are, the other drivers are more skilled.

If you have your lesson, good luck!

Today is very hot here... It's 43°F / 6°C

Noobvious hi...Those are very good driving tips you gave our member for his driving on snow ..or some lite ice. People seem to never go slower on these conditions .. no wonder they seem to just wind up in a big pile... of wrecked vehicles.

I actually enjoy the extra challenge of driving around in the snow....as long as there are no other cars nearby!

Today I bought a new PC for Kavita's uncle.
Here are the specs:
4GB RAM, 500GB SATA HDD, 19" LED monitor, i3 processor, 450W PSU, 1GB ATI GPU.
Its for home use so these specs are more than sufficient for them.
Cost? 430 euros. ( 26500 Indian Rupees.)
