Snow test

[guest5079]

Yesterday afternoon had some experience but not snow, SLUSH which can be just as big a problem with clogging up the tread. About 3 inches, after a very heavy hailstorm, so I just slowed down and not a twitch. What was worrysome was the idiots were still flying along nose to tail. Tis no wonder each day on breakfast TV the accident rate has gone up.
I hope that's all we will get.

This is quite normal in Finland in every winter for 3-4 months...

Winter tires make the difference

Some parts of Scotland regularly get snow like that, but it is very rare this far south.

Had a taste of some real snow and icy conditions this afternoon. Cars in hedges and ditches, abandoned cars, stuck cars, and my wee Jazz never put a foot wrong. That included doing a three point turn on a hill, with snow banks either side. I have changed my opinion of it from my first time in the snow!

Yes Jazz is good in snow and I can confirm that with winter tyres on it is unstoppable. We were out and about in heavy snow we had before Xmas and sharing the roads with tractors and land rover defenders, went past some 4x4's stuck (I assume with summer tyres on) as usual they were too optimistic about their vehicles ability to handle ice and snow just because it was 4x4 LOL.

I had my yearly inspection time today...but my Jazz said no . It's -25 Celsius (-13 F), a lot of snow... oh well I'll have another go tomorrow with preheating the car

Yes, most of us have no idea, here in the UK, what real winter weather is like.
