We had about an inch of snow yesterday, but disappeared just as quick. Absolutely hee=haw today although it's bloody baltic. heavy snow is forcast here for tonight through to Sunday
High winds last night lifted our outside table and chairs, which just missed the D3 Outside at 2am trying to secure them.
Not sure if that's a good thing as it's playing havoc with some jobs I have booked

No snow here
I have given up watching weather forecasts as they are always wrong. I prefer to refer to that brilliant Lenny Henry Sketch 'JYTV' where he summed it up,

North Yorkshire - on the edge of the Moors.
Forecast said it'd be here [and heavy] by lunchtime.
Been waiting and waiting but ..... still nothing!!!
Was thinking I'd swap over to my STT's ... just as well I didn't!
Anyway, there's always Sat ... or pref Sunday, as I'm out on the Moors then .
Here's hoping!...... always on the road less travelled 🚧

Note: 4x4 will help you get traction for going forward, and the permanent 4x4 will spread the torq across 4 wheels stopping things getting out of hand, BUT
4x4 is no help at all when stopping 2.7 tons in slippery conditions. ABS and DSC can only do so much, but to stop quickly on ice/snow, you will need good winter tyres and not to be going too fast in the first place.
Having said that, enjoy, its great fun in the D3.There's one wheel on my wagon, but i'm still rollin' along, it's the cherokee, they're after me, but I'm singing a happy song
