We just had 5 mins of snow in Hertfordshire, kids go mad, then it stops.....typical. I was hoping for a few seconds with the dragon.

What is there not to like...

Gritters pebble dashing your car,
numptys driving at 1mph,
Salt eating it's way through the car,
Kids using a metal shovel to get snow off the car roof
Trying to get up the drive at 5am and sliding towards the wall
Trying to get traction on summer tyres on compacted snow...

I'm going off the white stuff now

Nope,im with ya matey
its excellent to wake on xmas day to a white christmas,when you dont have to get to work etc
But i leave for work at around 4am,way before the rush hour traffic has taken its toll on the snow covered roads,and if you are familiar with the area,i work at penistone,and travel from langsett end of stocksbridge,nasty roads in the snow and ice

I'm with Dipster on this one, snow is a laugh as a kid, and maybe in an empty car park, but when you have to get to work down a narrow country lane there's not much to commend it. I think I'll be taking the Primera if it snows, I can scrap and replace it for the cost of a minor bump in the scooby.

Yeah, I'll be in the pogo tonight/tomorrow for the same reasons.

I still love snow though...even if 90% of people lose all common sense and drive at 10mph everywhere

i suppose its experience, a good few years ago on my b'day on a quiet motorway it was snowing like hell, (passenger btw) the car (is200 "snow" button depressed too whatever that is) driving approx 30mph did a 180 degrees spin, facing opp position, then waited awhile drove at 20mph, from left lane slide to the right then back to the left, missing another car which drove off smoothly,

also about a year or 2 ago, driving uphill towards junction 35a M1, snow started about 30mins ago, couldn't stop and kerbed wheel,
(my current scoob btw)
so i really fear it

it's hit a miss here. A few showers with big flakes, then lots of crap snow.

Best (or worst!) day for snow is Wednesday apparently
