Been snowing pretty steadily, in Chesterfield, since 9.00.

There is a layer on the drive but the road is a mix of wet and snow. Will have to see if it starts to get icy. It is supposed to drop to 0C at about 6:00 according to the BBC. If it does I won't be able to get up my drive.

Having said that an Ice cream van just drove up my road, during the GP.

We're 15/20 miles north of Doncaster in Goole and it has started to come down thick & fast. If any of the regular cruisers were looking forward to the likes of Ferrari, Lambo, TVR and Porsche turning up I would hope they would understand if we put it off until the weather was better.

It's not so much taking the car out in the snow... it's standing around looking at other cars and freezing your bits off in a blizzard that's not too much fun!

So me & Stu are out I'm afraid.

Just started getting heavy again, here. So if it is snowing in York it will be the whole way up.

Al is right about the being a time and a place for standing around a carpark, and I'm happy to put this off for a couple of weeks.

This is a regular meet, isn't it?

No good telling us after the event Steve. I did ask who was and who wasn't going.

Anyway, I've never been able to get you out on anything other than bone dry roads yet Steve and it hasn't been for want of asking!

Well at least another month down the line should offer some better weather so we're not freezin' our gonads off and there will be a bit more daylight to boot! Hey Ho.
