Same as where I live, so tempted to throw a giant snowball at them and watch them all fall down like skittles, then I remember I'm a lot older than them!

Most here do it for a reaction and probably because its more fun than playing xbox...

It's a nice advantage against those pesky five year olds though, that'll teach those swines not to knock on my door again.
That said, we had snow, but it never stuck.

Wake up normal time, get ready as usual, then before you do your last thing or two (mine is brushing my teeth and sorting my lunch), go out and stick the car on with full blowers, lock it again with the spare key, go back inside and do your stuff, come out and viola. Clear as day.
This plan obviously fails if you don't have a spare key. And probably uses quite a bit of petrol...

Well a 30 minute journey took 3 hours yesterday, the city of Norwich came to a stand still with buses not being able to climb tiny slopes, I saw another bus being pushed by a bunch of the passengers :L what a brilliant day that was

I do actually have a spare key, so that's not a bad idea, but I still need some quick way of unfreezing my doors.
2 Ltr bottle of warm (not warm, not boiling) water will do the trick. I've not smashed any windows etc. doing it yet.

If you spray a bit of trusty WD40 round the seals the night before they shouldn't freeze at all

Great tip, only works if you know its going to freeze the night before though! Otherwise you'll be using a fair bit of WD40 haha

True! and not great either if you don't like the smell! (who doesnt though)
Its one i've used though because I have such a tight timings in the morning, if I can do the prep before, I can still keep to my commute.
