You'll be ok going in a straight line and you should have a better chance going uphill, as for turning corners and stopping

That's when you'll be sh1tting yourself

It's certainly getting colder, 2 - 4 degrees on the way to work this morning compared to 8 -10 degrees at the start of the week, if it snows I'll just stay in bed as a 76 mile round trip to work including up and down country road hills in a Pug 206 1.4hdi could be fun, I might have to use the Citroen C4 GP instead or even fix the Scooby !!!

They are saying now that this year's drought conditions may extend through the winter up to next summer!

Yup, putting mine on Saturday

A little snow forecast for Sunday evening for where I am, which in reality means a few feet of the stuff

I checked bagged aggregate out in the new B&Q on Queens Road last weekend. The assistant thought that I was mental, only interested in what was heaviest, not what was in the bags...
