I really should get some new tyres on at least one of the vehicles eh.. 3-4mm tread doesn't work so well in the snow.

Gives me an incentive to finish the ceiling and insulation in the garage or I'll freeze.   :(

Thankfully the space heater I purchased a couple of years back is ready to be fired up.  Best thing I've bought in years!

I can only remember having snow in Deeside a couple of times when I lived up there, although once you got up into the hills it was quite regular.

bring on the snow and loads of it    my dog loves going out in it  when we last had snow he sat at the back door and cried to get back out even though he had just spent 4 hrs over the woods

Here we go again. A bit of snow & it's panic stations....leave the car, stay home....wish i could, just getting to work is the easy bit. We still get in & out of the Lake district (seeing a Landy in a ditch does'nt inspire confidence) but we crawl down the hills in low box & split & we diff lock back up them again in artics. No excuses car drivers.
    Not bad for a Southern softie!!!! 8-)
