With all that weight it'll probably be saying 'what snow?' ;)

Seriously though - BMW on winter tyres isn't too bad.

As long as they are clued up and well prepared they should be fine... :bash:

Epic - make sure you bring some Snow back with you :)

Gotta love the snow in the RS4 and giving the Beemer drivers the birdie as you drive past :)

Not sure what weather forecast to believe for tomorrow:

Met Office - heavy snow (up to 10cm) from 9am leading to travel disruption

AccuWeather - Chilly with a mix of snow and rain with little or no accumulation

WTF???

Accu weather is USA based - what do they know or care about the UK weather.

On top of that US forecasters said Sandy wouldn't hit land, UK forecasters had Sandy slamming into New York.

My money is on the Met office being right.
