Re: NI'ers
It's all Don's fault. He switched back to Summer wheels a few days back...
Seriously though, it doesn't look too nice there today, or in some other parts of the UK. :cold:
My 'winters' are staying firmly in place.

Re: NI'ers
Well no mains electric, just got the generator running to give some limited power. we also have five foot drifts. Rescued two cars so far and had a number of people in the house giving them tea and comfort and it is all my fault. We are supposed to be away with the caravan this weekend and just like the weekend in Febuary, the snow puts paid too that!
Thankfully I changed the wheels back over yesterday so subject to the banks of snow, I maybe able to get out and about.

Here's a photo of the daughter (Mia) taken around 2:00pm today. She's 4'8" tall and not even standing on the Tarmac! Certainly the worst conditions we have ever seen here. It's not snow tyres we need, but a bloody great big Icelandic custom 4x4. ::)

At this rate, it'll be time to put them on again before I can get them off! >:(

Re: NI'ers
At 700 above, I'm not surprised!!! Just spoken to my FIL who lives just outside Newry and they have no snow just rain. Turns to snow around Banbridge upwards.
