Its terrible here in chesterfield, dont know what chris was on about.
We must have had 4 inches or so, its not stopped since 3am friday morning.
Also the hdi is useless in the snow, when I had the clones and 55profile tyres it would go anywhere but on 205/40/17s its shocking, no grip whatsoever.

Kirroughtree yesterday, The M6 was down to one lane in places and the A74 was only just passable with care. Come home early as the trails are unrideable and the powerlines are down in Dumfries where we were staying. Got about a foot of it over my way, with some pretty big drifts too.

I'm just down the road from you then just off the moss valley on the Brynteg side
Ye the micra is his spare car so his probably using that because he's not that bothered about driving in the snow in it. That pic was at my mates near brymbo premier. I live in caergwrle so still not to far from you.

I have to admit, micras are epic in the snow, they seem to get places even 4x4s won't without breaking a sweat...
the best snow car i ever had was a 1.2 nova. would easily carry on past landrovers and other 4x4s up icy hills. ultra thin tyres, no weight and no power is a winning combination for snow
Current stable '09 Mercedes E320cdi wagon '99 306 gti6
