Not exactly heavily clad, but enough for us not to bother going out (schools are closed anyway and we work at home, so no need)

I'm afraid I cleared most of the snow off of my car before I took the pic. The first two were taken at 6.30 this morning, the others were taken a few mins ago

Phone actually took pictures this time...

My 850 this morning after yet more snow during the evening/night:


My C70 this morning, been stood now since new years eve since I had problems getting the caliper piston to go back in when doing the front brakes. Gave up when it was dark and I could see ice forming and its been too cold since Think I'm gonna have to take the battery out now.



My C70 after coming back from work...

The darkness shows the depth a bit better (crap quality pic though)... Starting to look more like a hatchback than a coupe! Even the indented parts of the rear light clusters had snow collecting in them...

We had some more last night too, but it was only a dusting.

To be a big kid for a mo: Yaaaaaaaaaaaaah, serious snow!! This is what we need to see.

My dad would disagree, and it's a bugger when they don't grit, but hey, it looks cool

Cheers,
