Yes.. the old "Series" Land Rovers always seem to have superior off road
ability to their newer cousins... My Series 3 never fails to let me down in
the mud when I go off roading, but ice... that's another thing - 4WD doesn't
seem to help a bit.

It was icy from the start with this spell of snow in Stoke at least.
Walking was difficult. I noticed that a lot of pedestrians were daft
enough to have their hands in their pockets too!

The reason they close the schools when it snows is because the people
who buy those stupid non-off-roadsters are the mums who take their
children to school and extend the rush hour by nearly 2 hours.

Someone obviously realises that these creatures can't drive and if they
could, their vehices are too sad to use.

Salt having no effect in the not all that cold weather, one might ask
what they use in Canadian cities.
