Peeing with rain here, we've got some local surface water flooding going on as the snow melts and the rain falls...:shake:

Went out at the right time as turning to slush already, Just picked up daughter and came back down dual carriageway at 50 which was easy with no control or braking issues and soon caught up with the car in front that turned out to be a police estate, clearly not on snow tyres and doing 16mph. Thought all cop cars went to Winter tyres..... Was tempted to pass him but thought better of it:rock:
PS found I had better control in snow with the esp off, anyone else found the same. Last thing I needed was the electronics trying to brake a wheel and cut power.... so off it went and better for it.

You turn the ESP off at the slightest whiff of snow , I've had mine off week and its ace without it . We have had about 5 inch of snow so far
