Seen that one before, but nobody could say where that poor little MG was?

I've had 3 days where it had snowed, but other than that not even a frost. Mildest winter I've seen in my life.

I am glad its mild. Although I would like to test the LSD in the hack, but not that much.

I am glad I didn't buy winter tyres again!

However it it does snow I want a bloomin blizzard so I can work from home for a week!

To be more precise, it was Versoix - I thought it was Geneva city - but it's close by.

Just posted by a friend on the book of face - apparently it is the road from St Anton to Innsbruck. She is stuck in St Anton.

I've noticed that the price of snow shovels in the shops has fallen recently (Due to a lack of solid precipitation in this area?)

On that basis, will I soon be able to pick up some cheap winter tyres?

I suppose that it *could* snow heavily next week, but this winter has been very mild so far. I too have had only one morning of scraping ice off my car.

Cherry blossom out in the street next to mine. Might need some sun bloc soon.
