Re: Snow - will it ever stop!
dont know whether to laugh or cry or just send photos to our local council whom we pay £1.5k council tax per year and it takes them 2 weeks to clear 6inches of snow off a 200m road

Coincidentally, my council tax bill arrived on Wednesday, just over 6,000ft for the year and we can pay in two installments if required.

Wonderful - for a quite normal house in the UK that bill could be 660,000HUF - ok payable in 10 equal installments !

Sounds like we've had it lucky again, nowhere near 3 feet of snow here. It started snowing yesterday tea time and we've now got about 6 inches.
We were supposed to be going to a motorbike club party today but we're now going to give it a miss. Fortunately I bought 5 litres of wine yesterday

Mine is only 3000 Ft for the normal Council Tax but there is an additional bill for 11,400 Ft for the local car tax.

The drifts are still there - just leaving to attempt the journey into town but doubt I will get there as I'm a wimp driving in snow and will freak out at the first patch of ice. Kids have been up the village and reported every patch of inch more than an inch thick. so I have an "ice map" for the village now

Car insurance is also cheaper here but used cars and car spares are more expensive than UK.

Since this is a weather thread........
Wait all winter for the start of the new F1 season, and it is postponed till tomorrow because of rain!
