We had about an inch of snow yesterday, but disappeared just as quick. Absolutely hee=haw today although it's bloody baltic. heavy snow is forcast here for tonight through to Sunday Mr. Green

High winds last night lifted our outside table and chairs, which just missed the D3 Shocked Outside at 2am trying to secure them.

Not sure if that's a good thing as it's playing havoc with some jobs I have booked Evil or Very Mad

No snow here Big Cry

I have given up watching weather forecasts as they are always wrong. I prefer to refer to that brilliant Lenny Henry Sketch 'JYTV' where he summed it up,

"If u want to know de bloody weather forecast, look out de bloody window" Katangaaaa.......

Note: 4x4 will help you get traction for going forward, and the permanent 4x4 will spread the torq across 4 wheels stopping things getting out of hand, BUT

4x4 is no help at all when stopping 2.7 tons in slippery conditions. ABS and DSC can only do so much, but to stop quickly on ice/snow, you will need good winter tyres and not to be going too fast in the first place.

Having said that, enjoy, its great fun in the D3.
