Decided to go home early last night with a takeaway.

Absolute carnage is the cliche du jour; people on summer tyres couldn't get up the valleyside to the A10 & were facing the wrong way...

It's quite safe as long as you factor in what you want the car to do BEFORE you have to do it. I was out for 15 minutes play last night and as i came down the hill to turn into my street, the car that had come down the hill behind me was literally 15 foot off my back bumper - spaktards, i'd been indicating in advance to avoid exactly that problem.

Much more fun this morning, Teutonic UDM abandoned left right and centre

The thing I struggle with, is where the hell are so many people going on a snowy Sunday morning? Especially as we've been told for days now that it's going to be like this today.

Having said that, my neighbour headed off to church this morning - then again, he has an Imprezza estate fitted with winter tyres...

Mine bottomed out on the snow on my drive but otherwise superb. Took some film rentals back, zero drama.

Winter tyres rule
