Well if you can go off the iPhone app living earth that is, says mon tue and Wednesday. Don't know how there predict that far in front, when the local weather struggle to predict the same day.

But one can only hope

They recon snow tomorrow but haven't heard re the start of next week.

Think I need to get the X back if there is going to be snow.

Forecast for the East says up to 10cm on Sunday! Might get a bit today, and a bit tomorrow.

Hope your bike has a rear mudguard as I used to hate getting that dirt streak up my clothes. My last bike had a 6" length of tin as its way of demonstrating that at least it had a mudguard! Useless it was.

E53 winters finish on ebay tomorrow and e70 winters are in the warehouse to go on.......typically warehouse is down a slope and if it snows i cant get to them

E70 is going into BMW on monday anyway and i dont want to give them any reason to wriggle out of the warranty work.

Am in Paris at the moment anyway and am driving back up through northern france in a heavy transit van so hoping the snow waits till tomorrow!

If it is a white Transit van, they can do at least 100 mph in any condition

Merc didn't call their version the 'Sprinter' for nothing - it has to be to catch those blasted Trannies!!

And typically I've now got to go for an MRI tomorrow night - as the snow gets here.

Depends how much snow we get but up to 2 inches and it's this

Anything deeper and this comes out the garage

Yes, it's in there somewhere behind the tyres.

lovely item behind those tyres for snow mate

reminds me of my land cruiser days!!

Fingers Crossed for snow! I've just bought myself an X5 after a long wait and cant wait to test it out

Toy no2 looks like fun. Always fancied having a go with a chopper but I'd be scared silly of splatting it into the nearest bit of terrain. I'd need stabilisers and gyros, and an anti-crash kit! Got bought a little tiny Syma electric indoor one for Xmas and that's great fun. The cats chase it all over the place. Quite fancy the AR.Drone2 with its HD cam when it arrives in March.
