I've had to take my kit out of the garage to get my lads tin top in for repairs. Its got a tarpaulin over it but the snow is filling the tub area up.

Snow on the ground this morning but nice and sunny now, not a cloud in the sky.
Just been out for a spin in mine. Bright sunshine! Mind you a "spin" is the right word - I could get no temperature in the tyres whatsoever!

Sun's up down on the south coast, roads are dry(ish) and I'm working from home 
Car's still in bits in the garage
Had a slightly embarrassing time this morning. It was clear all the way in this morning until I got to the business park where our offices are. There
appeared to be a light dusting of slushy, haily snow covering the ground (which is always fun in a rwd BMW) All was fine until I parked on the sloping
car park in front of the office. The stuff on the ground was still relatively frozen and as I got out of the car I discovered that the car was sliding
very, very slowly towards the office. Getting back in the car and applying the foot brake halted its progress so I was stuck sat in the car and had to
ring reception to get some of the lads out to try to at least hold the car steady while I tried to reverse back up the slope and find somewhere a bit
more level to park.
It was embarrassing enough but could have been a lot worse!
ETA - Seems I partially redeemed myself with my drive back up to level ground with the traction control off. I am now known in the office as "The
Stig" rather than "The t*t who nearly had his car crash into the office by itself"!!

Sunny in the South West, but cold. Car in bits so had to drive the tin top, heated seats, LOVELY !!!
5 inch deep here this morning 5.30am.
we got a little here last night/ today - but it turns to slush quite quickly
I'm just trying to get used to the 'new' car (old focus)
it seams ok in the snow/ slush so far but it doesn't dig in anf grip the way the old one used to
maybe I should borrow my old car back from McSpeedy for the winter

i nearly got stuck in the van today! Went down a sloping cul de sac to a customers house as the snow started up again, lucky i drove out immediately
because i barely made it, would still be there now if i had tried to do the work first!
real struggle to get home too, sliding down the camber 
could barely make it move.
