Who has cleared snow from their property and / or from outside their house?
Snow melts so I view it as a self solving problem.
My Attitude completely...
**** the neighbours...
They clear the snow and then it Freezes & turns to Ice so no one can get off the road (Even watched some pillock wash his XJ yesterday and made it 200% worse)
Only problem living with 10 bob millionaires...
Do they come and help me when all the leaves from their tree's blog up my drive - Do they ****....
Interesting to read the different views on this. I posted up to find out why so few people had done anything about the sheet ice on the paths and roads and whether the fear of legal action had anything to do with it, as I'd had a couple of people mumble something along those line to me. Doesn't seem that many have sited this as a reason and also seems that on here at least, some are willing to get their hands cold and wet.

I cleared 2 45 feet+ drives Saturday n Sunday
Did the path outside my house but if anyone slips its their fault for not having a quattro!
I live in one of the highest villages in stoke, the muppets round here only do their drive to let Tesco deliver!
Told my parents stay in as their drive is longer than mine
Postman still wearing his shorts too
I live up decent Hill, every vehicle we have is 4wd, I have welly boots and a dog, if other people are less prepared, they deserve to park on their ****.
PS I voted for the 'to lazy' but I have been working long hours snow clearing and rescuing with this...
Its not all fun, fun, fun, you know...

It's great fun for the first day when it's all fresh and snowy but if it stays after that, it all goes to ice and everything takes 2x or 3x as long to do, even walking to the pub is like an Arctic exploration!

I spent a winter in Canada about 10 years ago (actually scares me it was that long ago) and you had to clear pavements. I did the whole block 3-4 times a day, but then i was using a neighbours 4x4 quad bike with a plow for the season... Was good fun on the large car park opposite too
This time I was unprepared, no salt and no shovel, and no time for anything but work but I like to think I would have otherwise cleared the path outside the house. Certainly nobody else on the street bothered so I dont feel bad.
Very surprised the RS6 did so well on fat summer tyres, with ESP off it handled it well. I expected it to be a handful. Then again i didnt tackle much gradients. The RS2 has winter rubber but its in need of tax + MOT, few jobs need doing first
