I recall the days when we had a Unimog Snowplough up here at Harwell site, it did a great job of keeping the local roads in and out of the area clear, but alas cut-backs in recent years means it is no more

Now it just cost them people not turning up for work during heavy snowfall,
Back last Easter time when we had several inches of Snow only 2 of us out of 28 made it in

I decided to work from home today, glad I did as they closed the M27 this morning so couldnt have got there anyway! But its still freezing everywhere, so cant imagine Bainsgtoke is that much better than when I limped out of it yesterday

bnow if I'd have still had the Bimmer GS I would have ridden to work....

Well I've never driven a snowplough variant but some of my fondest memories of the Army are driving the Unimogs. Especially taking them off-road, they could go places our Landrovers couldn't because they had so much extra ground clearance. I had to dig one out of a stream by myself on my drivers course ... but it was 30 odd degrees, beautiful blue skies and not a cloud in sight. The rest of the course sat on and watched and hurled abuse at me and a few rocks
