Surely I can’t be the only person who dislikes snow. Sure it looks very pretty for a few hours and it’s nice to play about making snowmen. But once the ‘fun’ is over it’s just a series of problems and disruptions. I need to take the Golf in tomorrow but I may not be able to get onto the main road, my recycling should be collected but that’ll be cancelled as the drivers will be driving snowploughs, there’s already power cuts in my village and reports of fallen trees blocking streets. The sky dish has stopped working. Then there’s the days and days of slushy mess everywhere, closed schools, salty roads. The cat won’t go out and my old mum (92 years young) needs to get to the hospital 60 miles away on Wednesday. All in all - I don't like snow!
Ps
It’s about 6 inches deep in my drive right now!

Oh that will be global warming then  : :umbrella   Have a chat with britmog on here he will tell you you all you need to know about living with it for most of the winter. We see it here about once every 5 years and only a smattering. In 45 years we have only ever been snowed in once as we live on the English Riviera as the good lady suffers with the cold.

Lots of snow here - little more steady in the old GT as she can get a little tail happy in the wet/snow. However no chance of doing anything too stupid as most drivers seem to drive at 5mph when there's even the faintest whiff of snow. Added an extra 30 mins to my commute this morning.....
EDIT - every morning we get emailed the Cover list for the day, and the Cover Organiser always adds a little meme or phrase to lighten the gloom. Today it was:
"If you choose not to find joy in the snow, you’ll have less joy in your life but the same amount of snow"

"If you choose not to find joy in the snow, you’ll have less joy in your life but the same amount of snow" Obviously not a horse owner then. Two grumpy horses are in their stables today instead of nibbling the last of the autumn grass. My outdoor tasks are on hold and Mrs F is really grumpy. If being grumpy was an olympic sport then she would be a gold medalist when it snows!

I love winter with lots of snow ... In the Black Forest, the snow is supposed to start at the end of this week.

Do you use wintertimes or all season tires on your PlusFour, Clemens? I thought it was obligatory in Germany!? One off the reasons why we have them on our tints, living so close to the border!

I have been holding off on enabling the Christmas 'emojis' on TM but the snow is making me second guess my decision.
...a bit like Christmas carols, I feel they should be reserved for December!
