Kim, they are great pictures - I have to admit i'm a bit jealous - although I don't think it would be nice trying to get to work in weather like that!

No problem to work in this weather. I think it's great to be out and do different things. It fell 40 cm with snow last night. So had a lot to do today!!

Amazing isn't it - since we changed the clocks and had bad weather I see an accident on the M1 every time I drive to the office in Leeds!
Roll on the snow!!

I'm jealous, I LOVE snow!! That frost on the trees is beautiful. I'd swap a damp British winter for that any day!.
I hope you have a heated/dry garage to work in!
BTW, my understanding is that Minor's cope surprisingly well in snow, being of light weight, narrow tyres, low power and relatively high ground clearance.
I have driven mine in the admittedly tame English snow and it coped very well.
