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

Enjoy

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 !!!

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...
