SNOW!!!! - Page 2

msh · 27-10-12, 12:06 PM

Over here in local news headlines are making news about up to 50 centimetres of snow and up to -10c degrees cold in eastern part of latvia, but as I'm on the west coast, temperatures here where I'm located are still above 0 degrees and no snow.

I hope it will stay like that until I'll get one pair of winter tyres [which will happen after 2-3 weeks], afterwards - let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

It was one degree when we got to Castle Combe at 7.30 this morning!
Cars that had been there overnight were frosty. It's now crept up to six degrees.

The track is cold the tyres aren't warming up and there's very little grip even with four wheel drive.
Needless to say, the TVR class is struggling.

Better be quick!
I'm off to Canada for the winter, in 3 weeks. Real snow, measured in cm per night, not mm per month. Real cold, sustained well below zero, with rivers you can walk on.

And of course, Canadian girls!

Out to play? Yes. Here? Probably not

I hope you've got a Audi out there ?
Do you need someone to look after the v8

Have they fited winter tyres to your plane yet, some fellas spilt Tennents all over Glasgow runway and its turned to icy pish !
