This morning we woke to our fourth snowfall, our road, pavements and drive have been almost imposible since well before xmas. Our wheelie bins havent been emptied for over a month, no grit as been laid so I suppose the bin men cant get around. The terrano in 4x4
worked very well in the deep snow and thick ice, but in 2x it is useless, wheels spinning fish tailing and going nowhere. On the drive, one wheel on ice other on cleared tarmac the wheel on ice just spun the other did nothing. I would have thought the lsd would have helped but it didn't. The lsd oil was changed six months ago. The good thing about this snow, no wind, it's been very calm otherwise there would have been severe drifts . regards bri

Have travelled around Hawes and outlying Dales lanes today(sadly at work). Deep snow and drifts which apart from the steepest hills have been mostly in 2xwheel drive.The lsd seems to work well when the auto is in snow mode i.e. no 1st gear engaged. When forced to use 4x4h she was as good as all the L.R.'s i have driven in the past. Pirrelli Scorpions seem to be well up to the job as well. Shame I did not have a camera as the views were spectacular.

This was the view earlier this evening while practising a bit of 4WD powersliding in the car park in town

......currently theres 5 inches sitting on top of the beemer (whch hasn't moved for almost a month!) and its still throwing it down.

Met Office is predicting anywhere from 10-16 inches right across my patch so no work tomorrow!!! yippee!

Snow glorious snow in sun....er..snowy Sheffield today. Took an hour to travel 2 miles this morning in nose to tail traffic, so turned around and came back home. Took the hound out for a lovely walk in the hills then took the missus on a couple of her jobs. Beats stuck in an office all day.
