Anyone else got Snow?
Mental here today, several inches fell overnight and all morning too, it was gridlocked round here for most of the morning. Helped a few stranded damsels out on my to work
D3 is awesome at finding traction on slippery hills, even let me start off on a very steep incline in 4" of snow lying on ice, a few passers by laughed when I stopped to let someone slide down thinking I would be stuck, soon wiped the grin off their faces 8)
No good pics as camera is u/s but a snap from my CCTV system!!

Fair bit around here.. Had great fun driving the hills and watching others get stuck including four buses which was very funny to watch
We've had snow since Tuesday. However, when I went out to rescue the neighbour this morning (she'd driven into her own hedge ) I was deluged with rain. Coming down like stair rods.
I think we're in for a big freeze tonight, given the amount of surface water around at the moment (under what remains of the snow) it could make things a bit interesting tomorrow morning

Rather oddly, here in the frozen east, we don't have any snow at all.
And here in the not-quite-frozen North East (Scotland) we have no snow either! The older I get, the more I realise that people confuse wrinkles for wisdom

Nice and snowy this side of Leeds as well CFB. First run out in the D3 in decent snow and have to say I've an even bigger permagrin now. Massive traction even on packed snow on ice out Vale of York way. New Continentals helped I suspect but only trouble is now I want Santa to bring me some ATs or MTs for my old OE 17s just in case we get some more and I get the chance to go play in the woods over Xmas.
Only problem is the berks in the Connects that think they can drive as normal in snow - nice to pull smoothly past them and leave them floundering.

Got a covering here, but nothing like what was predicted in the forecasts. A little bit of a thaw on as well.
