I'm in Colchester. Had about 4cm, most of it has gone/turned to slush. Should be fun for my early shift tomorrow morning. Its now about -2 outside so might ditch the Trophy and take my ice skates in tomorrow.

Was snowing in London. Went to Windsor and drove back in fairly heavy snow fall. Great fun but still wondering if Renault forgot to install the traction control unit on the trophy... it slides everywhere before kicking in!! :shock: Probably a good thing though

Agree with the traction comment. Taking my mum into town,pulled away from lights and well made a prat of myself. haha. Mum didn't appreciate it either. haha

Bit of a dusting in Sheffield centre, bit more the further out of town you get. I'm more worried about the ice and freezing fog to follow. Touch wood, been OK so far, but I think the VVT is going to be getting a little holiday for the time being...
And now the ice... -9 degrees this morning when I started chipping her out. Didn't hit 5th all the way to work and waved a couple of tailgaters past. Even though it was early doors, 7 cars by the roadside (often in pairs, for obvious reasons) with dinks, dents etc.
The downside with living in the sticks is that the gritting is less than enthusiastic sometimes. The middle of the road is OK, but near the verge or median, forget it, you can skate there. Just as a Brucey bonus, you also get little stretches which the gritter has missed, often round bends. Side roads, forget it...
There are a couple of months a year when I think getting a tax exempt series II 88" Landy would be a plan.
