In the blizzard of '79, we pushed the same vehicle out of the snow 5-6 times because of all the weight from us grabbing on. The poor woman never knew.
We call it scutting....

You forgot sneaking up behind a friend and stuffing a handful of snow down the back of his shirt.

Sadly those mostly have a low standard of living and giant creepy bugs everywhere.
Winter or giant creepy bugs is pretty much the way of the world.

Mr. Charlie where do you live? Looks like Wales or somewhere up north.

Had a feeling this thread would be bumped today, we had snow here in the Midlands too this morning, I tried to take a pic but there was so little snow it really wouldn't be worth uploading it for the OP.

Really cold now though. About time winter started to bite. Lovely.

Yeah, I'm up in north Wales, in the Snowdonia mountain range. It's been an unusually warm winter here too up 'til now. We've had snow on the mountain tops for a couple of months, but less than normal.
