Winters here

[sherman]

Passed a gritter that was actually gritting the road at 7pm last night by the Asda in Leith.

Sure is, this was the lecht yesterday. Roof down :-)

I had my first frosted windscreen of this winter, pretty hard one too.

Gritters were out all over Edinburgh yesterday.

Why the sad face?

The more snow the better IMO

Oxymoron....Rugged, go anywhere RX8

[sherman]

It gets stuck if the road has more than a cm of snow on it. its quite pitiful really.

Can anyone recommend a decent car cover to fit a Volvo S40? Thought I might treat Jen :P

Sna's fine, love driving in the sna.

It's the fking gritters I hate typically found sandblasting salt when it's 5+degC and no hint of frost/freezing temperatures for the next week

I found out today that I am due to be working in the Monadhliaths (at about 700m) the week before Christmas. The site was white over last week, and one of the fords I had to drive through washed my headlights, so it could be entertaining!

That's a fantastic road, I always prefer it when going Aberdeen (Elrick) >>> Inverness, but will need to watch as not got Winter Boots sorted out yet

The wife slipped on ice and fell on her ar$e the other day

My heated front windscreen has quite a few dead elements in it, will need to get that changed at some point.

Heated seats are working fine though.

Winter is definitely here - winter wax of choice applied:

I was thinking of doing mine this weekend but it's raining ...

[MarkRSi]

For the Aberdeenshire area is there any way of finding out exactly when the gritters will operating down each road?

Because if the answer is "whenever I'm driving down it" it wouldn't fking surprise me
