Good, I hate snow. It's just cold and turns to slippery ice. Horrid stuff.

Have they abandoned the "gender equal snow clearing policy" then? I heard that caused absolute chaos in Sweden when they had their first snows last year.
You mean for the possible chance we might get a day of snow? Where do we store all these spare wheels/tyres in our tiny UK houses?

Why is your house tiny?
You love to troll
Not to mention the cost.
Because he lives in the real world and not OCUK fantasyland.

Forecast for me is all over the shot depending on what site you check. I'm not far from the Scottish Borders and I'm a bit higher up than Edinburgh and the surroundings at 150 meters above sea level.
It was fun last year for a few days as well, got a gritting station a mile up the A7 from the house and the road was a disaster lol. It took me 25 minutes to reach my front door on the last mile due to traffic queuing back past my road end due to a crash about 5 miles down the road.

Why not buy all seasons then?
Also worth pointing out that winter tyres are not just for snow. They are beneficial in temperatures below 7 degrees, which means they are better at stopping than normal tyres for around four months a year, in the south, longer in the north.
Only extra costs are the rims, which is fairly minimal over the lifetime of their use. You're not using your other pair when using the winter ones so they get a corresponding increase in use out of those.

Doesn't seem like it's cold enough in general in the UK for decent wintery weather. I wonder if it'll ever be like the middle ages again, with the Thames freezing over. Surely this is a cyclical thing to some extent, it's just that the cycles are over a very long time.
