Morning all
Now the white stuff is starting to make an exit, I thought it would be good to share hints and tips you have used for getting around the NE during the snowy weather.
We were stuck in Kent for a week and drove home yesterday. We have a Kodiaq Scout 4x4 on all weather tyres that coped fine in snow mode in our village yesterday albeit most of the snow had gone.
What have you been using/doing?

I used my MX-5 on summers to get to and from work all week as I couldn't really afford to do anything else.
Only 2 times I had trouble was getting into my street, one end is an incline and I could only get about five yards up before it would completely lose traction so I had to go back down and drive round to the other end which was far more suited to get along. The other was at work when my car wouldn't move an inch except for the rear wheels spinning up and the rear end sliding side to side trying to get out of my parking space to go home. I ended up having to pretty much dig my way out. I did find because it is lower than most cars I hit loads of snow left down the middle of the road which was annoying as some of it was solid.
Was great fun drifting around at 5/10mph everywhere though, never stopped giggling to myself
