Crockers - you know our wonderful changeable unpredictable U.K. weather has a habit of springing nasty surprises just when we least expect it........so whilst last week & next week’s forecast points to nice spring like weather.......I will not be changing until the earliest of 1st April when I will assess the long range forecast........and then most probably change then!

Not taken the winters off yet but have taken the salt out of the boot of the V60.

Came here with popcorn as well- but so far doesn’t look promising..

Where’s all the “crossclimate” people to add some spice to the discussion?!

To stay OT: extended ski season for me means winters stay on probably till mid May the way things are looking right now

If it’s any help, I’m going to wear out the tyres that came with the car, and put some Crossclimates on.

I'm wearing a JC grin towards all the winter tyres lot

I know a lot of people wake up around lunch time on weekend and think we had balmy weekend in the south east. But my second tee shot on Sunday was into the sun just rising over the horizon so a bit earlier than most - the fairways were frosted. The groundskeepers car windshield was frozen. That’s just outside m25. That means could easily catch a bit of black ice on an exposed corner on a country lane. Until I stop seeing below 5C lows i’m on winters.

I have no intention of changing back, that's if I bother, though ow I have a spare set of rims and tyres I might, but it is still cold at night when I am out and I still spend most of driving at night / dark.

I might add though as I have my winters on 19" the rims are so much less exposed compared to the 21"'s anther reason why I might leave on.

Because I’m still on last years summer tyres, I’ve skidded off the topic, to ask why Deman77 had his morning walk spoiled, by a round of golf.
