Supposed to be heavy snow tomorrow.
The wheelie bin is quite sheltered where it is so missed a lot of the early snow.
Might have to bring it out into a slightly more exposed place (though SWMBO will then start asking questions that she won't like, or more likely will just ridicule, the answers to) so it is a more accurate reflection of the conditions! Black 05 TDV6 HSE Auto

Judging by that view, if the snow gets too much, you'll at least have a good supply of local chocolate! Previously:

Hope you’re out more than they are up here in the Heelands.
I do a week on/week off as required sharing the truck with another driver.
We go out when the road surface temperature (which can be quite different from the air temperature) dictates. Often, we are out in the early hours so not always seen by the public.Get throughg quite a bit of salt too.
Please feel free to ask any questions - it's not just about scattering grit all over the place like some seem to think.

Snow?
Photo looking over my back fence at Mt Taranaki. Snow almost all gone.
It's going to be about 25oC today! Enjoying the summer weather.
Currently -1C outside but a "healthy" draught means it feels like -6 ... Currently dry but if we get any moisture tonight, it's going to be lethal in the morning..

It got a LOT deeper today.
SWMBO struggled in the Tiguan, even with snow tyres, at points.
Must get the D3 mot'd...bit annoying not to be able to use it in this!
