We've had a lot up here, think around 80cm+ at last count, got to love the way things are still moving up here despite the reporting on the news things are reasonably normal. Kids have enjoyed a week of school though ! Our local Tesco has seen a glut of panic buying with bread especially :rofl:

Roll on the reporting when it "down south" gets this much snow - it will be end of days style reporting :paper:

Well, we have had 60 cm here near Gatwick and the X5 on winter tyres is doing great. I am almost the only car on the road though.

Funny how they announce on the radio that anyone with the environment killing 4x4 need to come to the rescue again as well. Will remind them of this next time when they moan about the 4x4 again.

Well - off to panic buy some food now :D

Waiting for my winter tyres to arrive next week, cannot wait. Drove back from Telford last night and it is the best run I have had in the last 5 weeks, the roads were so quiet.

I've been out playing a lot, love driving the unploughed roads with DTC.......X5 really handles when you stick the tail out with the power on, really predictable...

Been out in our 4.6, Toyo summers on (though the backs are brand new), not had problems yet though watching the guy from Lepsons ripping around in a winters shod Citroen C3 has convinced me for next year!
