As you know not a fan. the Scandinavians have really been taking the piss .. " all this" beast from the east " stuff . seeing all the bad driving ....broken down vehicles has give them a real laugh ,at our usual lack of preparation for snow .....they have 6 months of this a year. my sibling is over in holiday from oz , moaning about driving standards from the young ,in the snow . I had to point out , a 25 yr old , passing his or her test at age 18 , may never have driven in snow ....think about that . its a temporary slowing of the jet stream ....hopefully it is temporary After passing my driving test the first time I drove in snow was aged 18 it was driving from Oslo airport to Lillehammer in a minibus carrying about 10 from memory it was a breeze.

Where are you? verystormy is in Scotland. All my friends there are still under deep snow. My SIL & BIL are in Hertford and they said it was cold and raining yesterday. Never mind I'm sure better weather is on its way. Edited March 4, 2018 by Toots 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
