The weather in the UK has hit unprecedented levels recently. In previous years, I used to think it was cold when the car external temperature gauge alarm 'pinged' at 4 degrees C to warn me that driving conditions could be affected by the weather. However, for weeks at a time recently, we have endured below zero temperatures this winter, and I have started to think of 4 degrees as being quite mild....
This has led many people to consider winter strategies. Items such as gloves, scarves, car screen scrapers, overshoes and hand warmers are piled up by the door. Winter tyres, snow socks, grit and a shovel in the back of the car are now considered normal rather than 'over the top' reactions to a 'bit of snow'...
We have seen some spectacular snow scenes whilst driving around the country, but while acknowledging the power of winter, and it's undoubted beauty, I would still rather it wasn't so darned cold!
