Wow. Had heard of impending snow fall but I wouldn't have expected that either. It's been a little drizzly but that's it in the Mids.

It's Jalf's fault. He changed first.......er OK closely followed by me. I'll take a (very) small part of the blame. :oops:

Well, my brand new winter tyres are on right now.

On wheels that is, not on the car. Had them done this morning.

Now you just need forks for the tractor so you can move the things about. Light Alloy wheels aren't exactly 'light'!
