Snow in Lincolnshire it may have a reputation for being flat but just watched a BMW 3 series trying to get up a small hill in the snow (Not a pretty sight).

Connie just sailed up thank goodness for front wheel drive a Jatco auto box and snow mode

Take care everyone
Chris

If we get snow here overnight there could be problems, the roads are bone dry so if it does fall it'll more than likey lie.

Had a Mercedes C200 last year when it snowed. It kept getting stuck on the slightest incline, it was an auto and the traction used to cut in and bog down the gearbox, it was rubbish. I'll take 75 out tomorrow and play if the snow is still around.

First glimpse of tomorrows papers just on Sky News. Taking their usual calm considered view, front page of the Daily Express "KILLER FREEZE GRIPS BRITAIN"!

Crikey - I think we've got your share as well as our own Derek - I'll nip out with a ruler and measure it - once I've plucked up the enthusiasm to get out from under the duvet
