Default Swedish Winter in Sheffield

Probably the snowiest Magnus has ever been! Hope all your Amazons are enjoying the climate they were built for...

I guess "Cool" would be an appropriate comment! Remove snow with care. You can get dedicated Snow brushes in Sweden. I think I have a Saab one tucked away somewhere and I guess Volvo do, or did, sell them too. It has a hollow handle to put an extension on for doing the roof.

Aldi were selling something very similar last winter, 'DerekUK'. It had a long flat brush at one end of a long handle, with an ice scraper at the other. Instead of an extension the handle was telescopic and extended to almost twice it's length. They weren't expensive, only a pound or two - we have one in each car. I've not seen them this year, but then I haven't been looking.

Regards, John.

Woodman's picture reminds me of the day after my wedding, one late December in the West Country some time back, when my P1800 was buried in snow. Needless to say, I wasn't in a hurry to clear it off the car at the time.

Had a few days of proper spring weather but suddenly got cold again a couple of days ago. Unusual the snow persists past two days where I live. Drove my car yesterday despite the icy roads.
