It's getting on my nerves big time now, just wanna get back to normal.

Can't go anywhere or do anything.

I have list of mods to do as long as your arm and can't get none sorted due to the weather.

Did anyone actually get any more snow last night?

We've got less, some of it thawed overnight.

A lot has dissappeared here over night.

Can't say the snow has been bothering me to be honest. Hasn't stopped me doing anything I have needed/wanted to do.

Still been able to get to work everday too!

You need a Kuga. That thing has been awesome in this weather. The van was struggling to get back here most nights so used the Kuga to pick lin up. didnt even flintch at the ice covered road and pulled along it with ease.....

Even my old two wheel drive (REAR wheel drive!!) Ranger has managed admirably in the snow and ice so far!

I had no trouble in mine either. The van considering FWD has been fine. altho does struggle with the slight slope to get back home in the evening does get up there just. The Kuga doesnt blink at any of it. The RS was Fine yesterday also. (but then again that was JUST outta the garage and back in )

We have it really bad down here, and several big accidents means the roads are gridlocked
