You're missing all the fun if you haven't got any snow yet!
Our cars are awesome in the snow with snow tyres on. I've been up really steep hills, 3" of snow and no wheel spin at all. People look in amazement as they are pushing their cars and a little sports car just cruises by! Mind how you go with standard tyres as you wont stop any faster than a 2wd car.
Its the coldest winter i can remember for a long while.

There's a new road near here that is untreated and has a series of small roundabouts. Last night I was returning home and couldn't resist coming back that way... to my delight there was not another soul to be seen so I spent about 20 mins getting my FWD 'drift' on in the focus with the handbrake and some opp. lock. Excellent fun!

What a bairn I am.  :D

Miserable gits moaning about it. Snow is great, in any quantity and for any duration, we don't see enough of it. I'm sick of the moaning sods that complain that their road isnt gritted. I go to find the ungritted roads just for the fun of driving on them, in a FWD! I'm getting snow envy, Glasgow is pretty much snowless now :(
