I just had an "interesting experience" while trying to defrost my 190.
Started it up and while it was warming up, grabbed a can of de icer and sprayed it all over the windows to melt the frozen snow.
While using it I decided it was the shitest de icer I had ever used, as it was having no effect at all.
I then looked closer at the can and discovered it was Liquid snow chains !   
I vaguely remember buying a can of this stuff in the summer because it was cheap, and thought it might be interesting to see what it does when we get some snow. Its now going in the bin.
It was all over the windows like very big, very sticky bogeys and took nearly two hours to get off.
Had to use an ice scraper to scrape the thicker lumps off, then rags soaked in petrol to wipe the residue off, then clothes soaked on warm soapy water - then repeat several times.
Shut up STEMO.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I think you probably did yourself a favour. If you'd have used it for the intended purpose, it would have ended up in places where you couldn't remove it. One wheel spin and you'd have caked the wheel arch liner and wings in globs of liquid putty.





Tee hee...pillock  .

Far cough ya bastid. 

Wheelspin in a 190D - unlikely. 

[Keith ABS]

 Wait till tomorrow Gaffers

[Varche]

Had a very light sprinkling in the early hours,looked more like granules than flakes.Not enough to cause any concern,been dry rest of day but now raining.

Hail then.

.          Hail Ronnie Demigod

I,ve been called a lot of things in my long(ish) life. But, that ain,t one of ,em. Hope we don,t get the (perhaps) reported snow on Thursday night as i,m picking up my new, to me, wheels on Friday morning.

We changed our travel plans today and didnt see any snow.

Ronny. Good luck picking up your wheels. I presume being a demigod it will be some form of popemobile?

[biggriffin]

Was a bit heavy thro Cumbria, over Shap, couple inches, lane 3, not being used,few roads closed round windamere, got into scotch-land not a lot, basically didn't slow down..

So just a lot of hype by the southern softee press.

What we had Tues evening settled on car (and grass etc), then promptly froze solid.

Got bored scrapping it within 2mS, so started them up, and went in for a brew.

All defrosted when I went back out

[Andy H]

Got home from a hospital appointment with the kids just as the wet sleet started.

Stood indoors and commented that it wouldn't settle.

An hour later about 3 inches had settled but was melting fast. Then it got dark and started freezing again. The problem in Cornwall is that it rains a lot but doesn't often freeze so most of the grit that is spread on the road is washed away before it has any chance to do it's job.

It hit Cornwall just before people started heading home and it looks like there are hundreds stuck on Bodmin Moor and other high ground who won't get home tonight.

Meanwhile at a beach somewhere in Cornwall

[Alnico Blue]

Nothing here in Chav land this crisp winters morning 

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

It was snowing on & off through the night Al, but it didn't settle. 

[TD]

Well, its snowed here overnight

There must be 2-3 inches on the ground and its still snowing now …...
