Smear the rubber seals with Vaseline. It will make a world of difference.

On the road, so haven't had time to check in depth but it seems that Thursday is getting more interesting for the South...

This was mentioned briefly on last night's local weather forecast - it should have had the full trumpet medley and bunting as it's possibly our only chance of proper chaos...

The ground is frozen and the air is crisp - ideal for receiving a dumping. So we'll re-convene in 48 hours with murky fog and drizzle...

We had a sprinkling in Luxembourg yesterday, now all gone, but sub-zero, so out running last night was f-f-f-fookin' cold!

I use Gummi Pflege. Great product and eases the sticking in 99% of instances.

We have had some snow overnight.
About 1-2" of it.

Nothing overly exciting but the dog was happy with it.

Would appear many people in central Scotland don't bother with weather after the news as plenty are still driving around without clearing it or using lights.

Should be enough to stop a BMW in it's tracks biggrin

Another disappointing Winter, had enough, when is Summer coming? Could do with a heatwave over Easter weekend, missus is dragging us to West Wales Glamping whatever that is..
