Snow!
Snowing like buggery in Leeds/Bradford just now :O Was forecast to be sunny all day so I'm in the TVR instead of the wife's Al Murray.
Could be an interesting drive home

It's just started here in Derbyshire, been cold but glorious sunshine all day.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Got home okay, well I say home, I mean about 50 yards from home - couldn't get up the ungritted hill to my house. Couldn't get any
traction even with tickover starting in second! Had to park up off a sideroad away from people skidding on the main road :O
Was very snowy when I left work though, and icing up quickly in the tracks other cars were leaving. In the end I was actually trying to drive on the
snow because it offered more grip!
Scary though - not so much the rear wheel sledges of the TVR, but other people. The amount of people locking or spinning their wheels as if they were
unaware that the white stuff is slippy was mind boggling :O Maybe the promenence of front-wheel drive cars disconnects people from the potential
danger of sliding?
