martinmac Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Not a sign of snow here and with my luck the winter tyres will be a waste of money. Quote
elfman Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 This year is going to be very strange for me, i used tyo have to drive the zed 13miles to work in feet of snow each morning, now i live close to work and walk it. Going to miss the challange i think hahaha! Quote
rtbiscuit Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 I nearly bought wheels with snow tyres on last week, but decided not to at the last minute, i'm not sure if and what quantities we'll actually get in suffolk. Quote
Stoker11 Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 You put the Zed away a bit to early Matty,the weather is ok,will be driving mine home in a bit after work.If the weather does get extreme then the Shed will be out. Quote
AK350Z Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Had my first partly slushy drive in this morning. The dunlop 3Ds on the punto worked well, only spotted one stacked Peugot on the way in, judging by the state of his front end, getting to work must have been reeeeeaaallly important! Quote
coldel Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Still no snow, bit of frost at 7am, but otherwise fine, sun is out its lovely. Zed will continue to be out and about for a while yet. Quote
rtbiscuit Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 thursday/friday in suffolk looks like it might be condusive to snow, but if that actually happens i'll wait and see. Quote
Stew Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 I have snow forecast for the next few days. Quote

I see you driving down Cleethorpes Road earlier Yeah i put it away a bit early but on the plus side its saved me alot of money in petrol haha still can't wait to get it back out again though. Quote
Neilp Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 i think stew and a few others are the exception to the rule, when your dealing with feet of snow and not inches its a different ball game, Not a problem when you have a Varis Snowplough attachment I have the nismo version We have about a foot of snow just now. My car struggled in 1 inch when i first got it. I have the clearance on the front bumper of the height of an iphone on its side. There is no way my car would work in this weather. Even our xc90 got stuck last year due to the snow being so deep, We had to dig out the old isuzu trooper and lock the diffs to pull it out. All our village is on hills which makes for a very fun drive. The suzuki swift, well, its out for fun in the snow tonight. Quote
MFM Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Hmm. I am not bothered by snow etc. or even the people who cannot drive on ice etc. I am really bothered about the tons and tons of salt that get thrown down round my location in East Sussex. The council have already started dusting salt. Today I plumbed in a Meaco dessicant dehumidifier in the garage and I am keeping an eye on the weather and the salt dumping which will determine when the car goes into hibernation with its little battery maintenance plugged in. Well done to those who drive through the winter but I will just use the Isuzu Rodeo and trundle along Quote
BulletMagnet Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 That's another reason the winter tyres went on. A fritter was spotted and I don't fancy wrecking my Volks again with grit & salt Quote
Stoker11 Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 I see you driving down Cleethorpes Road earlier Yeah i put it away a bit early but on the plus side its saved me alot of money in petrol haha still can't wait to get it back out again though. Never mind i,m looking forward to seeing your car out and about again Quote
Karlp Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 No signs of snow in east yorks yet, very bright and chilly but temperatures of 12 degrees reported for Thursday onwards Quote

Never mind i,m looking forward to seeing your car out and about again Will have to go for a cruise on some of the local roads when i get it back out. Just seen the date for Japfest next year, and i'm not working so i'll be attending that again Quote
