|  Winter Tyres Fitted and ready, Now where is the snow?
Just had our winter tyres fitted to the Van, ready for the cold, wet, snowy slippery roads.
Just need some snow now to try them out... When is it due?

Winter tyres work better below 8 or 7 degrees anyway, and remember the Tarmac is always 2-3 degrees colder than air temperature  | |

I think we will get snow rather early again this year, although it does seem unusually mild for this time of year.
