Hi i'm in Hertfordshire and woke up this morning to a few inches of SNOW which had appeared overnight.

Now where's those winter tyres oh yes I didn't buy any because  i thought we don't need them down here that shows me.

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 :)
