I love snow, proper white snow then crispy cold weather and blue skies.  

So there is some now and a maybe a good bit more tomorrow.   Bring it on.

 

That weather is fine George, it's the normal 1-2C + 40 days and nights of dreich skies that does my brain in.

 

I'll take cold and clear over grey skies.

-6C this morning. No snow in the southwest of Sweden yet (but 3-4 ft. in the northeast). Studded winter tyres and fluffy steering wheel cover mounted today, so I'm prepared for the worst.

Dull, cloudy, windy, ~+5C. Common factors with the predicted frost - 0.

About 1 degree in London with frost on the car.

Had to resort to scraping with the hard bit of my scraper for a small section of the windscreen but the rest, fortunately, came off with wipe from the rubber bit.

Some of us don't have to rely on an "all UK guesscast".

I have a parking/auxiliary heater that I still need to bloody fit to the Fav. It'll be pretty cush when I finally do get a sufficiently circular tuit... though that'll probably be the middle of summer 2017. :dull:

I haven't got a heated front screen, but I have got heated wipers, looking forward to seeing how well they work.

Serves me right, it was a very nice morning but i could not get across the Cairn o Mount this morning because the snowgates were closed, so that needed a bit of a detour up the A90.

Lovely day for it though.

Coming home on the A93.

-4 to -5 coming up the A9.

 Lovely roads & internal combustion engines love the cool fresh air.

 

The one thing I miss from my rag top days, getting out in sub zero temps with the hood down. Bloke on a bike thought I was bonkers till I told him I had a heater and heated seats.. who's mad now :D
