Don't think I have ever seen a photo that better exemplifies that wedges look good in white!

In Sydney, precipitation of this volume is in ice, rather than soft snow.

The resulting hail damage can look incredible, but is typically terminal for the car.

Balmy is right. You guys are cray hay hay zeee [:D]

Give my regards to Topanga Canyon Blvd - one of the few decent roads in LA.

I've done my share of digging cars out of snow too. 10 years on - not missing it so far.

I'm in Ottawa, Canada. This is very early for snow here. Apparently the storm came in from the eastern seaboard of the States. When it got here, the circular motion sucked down some cold air from the real north and we got snow. Ron...how you doing in Montreal?

We had a little snow in Essex, Muggins had to collect freinds from Gatwick airport last night at 1.00 am which wasnt very nice in the driving snow.

But Hey, Its the "Drivers Club" meeting to night, so I have uncovered my "8" (poor thing hasn't got a garage to live in at the moment)and we will have a blast in the cold air with the roof down.

Cheers
Ian

We've just had a week of sunshine and pretty nice temps on the west coast. (See my post of Quamichan Inn.) Just starting to cloud up and looking at a period of rain in near future. Here's hoping for little or no snow this winter.
