Looking forward to snow here. Want to play in the RR in the snow, though its going in for MOT tomorrow. Mind if it fails still got my CRV on oversized all terrains that should still be fun

Just a tiny sprnkle of snow last night but a hell of frost.

Not a speck of the stuff here

Glad I bought a BMW MINI a couple of weeks ago to replace my E39; it has traction control and a half-decent handbrake, and has been a little trooper so far...

It's temperature gauge is currently reading -2.5 deg C.

All the blasted water pipes have frozen up, so I've just had to fill the kettle with snow for a brew.

Wed Feb 28, 2018 6:10 pm

No tea, now that could be serious

Wed Feb 28, 2018 6:21 pm

Indeed. Actually, it wasn't a bad tasting cuppa, but it took an age for the snow to melt enough, despite the use of a bodyshop hot air gun and a heat lamp on it!

Wed Feb 28, 2018 6:23 pm

It has been hitting as low as -13 here in Ze Fatherland

Wed Feb 28, 2018 7:21 pm

well round here it's getting bad, already seen a smash up involving 2 cars,
the roads are so bad i left the car at home & walked into town,

got the bus back home & even that was struggling,

saw a couple of vids on FB earlier of mablethorpe & skegness, both a complete white out, nothing can get in or out of either place.

Wed Feb 28, 2018 7:40 pm

Plenty of the white stuff here, and my 3.0L auto E39 has got everywhere I needed it too.

Trouble is in Europe its dry cold, in the UK its the damp that cuts through you, the lowest I ever experienced was -15 during the day and -28 at night, that hurts.

Its definitely a different type of cold but it's still MF cold.

Roll on the Summer, after 3-4 months, I've had my fill of ice & snow now.

When I used to smoke it got so cold the cigarette would go out also its not a good idea to let the filter get wet as when it sticks to you lower lip as when you try to remove it from your mouth its a toss up between your fingers slide on the cigarette and you take the hot end off and have that stuck to you or you pull the top layer off your lower lip which is just as painful

Also remember having to brush the snow off the outside of the car then scrape the ice from the inside of the windscreen.......
