No snow here in Durham, just heavy frosts, but the car is nice and cozy in the garage and the old Suzuki 4 x 4 is being used in the bad weather :)

Cheshire is clear.  Dealer is picking up my winters and checking/changing them for me to save me getting my new boot/interior dirty ;-)

Snow here too.....car in the Dealer's at 08:00 for winter wellies.  Mini booked this afternoon.  I know the snow was forecast, but it seems a 'bit more than expected' fell......

Our cats have been out playing in it....too cold for humans though..... :cold:

Ararrhhh, I'm sooooo jealous! I love the snow.  I put winter tyres on the 5 series last year and nothing.....I've already got the winters on the X and knowing my luck the snow will pass on by!  :doh:

-4.5 deg this morn in Durham, heavy frost & snow.  Yesterday I put teh X5 through it's paces for the first time on an icy bank loads of cars were getting stuck on, I could easily stop then start repeatedly on the bank without fuss.  With the webasto working I can safely say I can't think of a better car to be in during the winter, bring on more snow I say :)
