No snow today but nippy
The Weather Thread.
Re: The Weather Thread.
-7C when I got into the car this morning, though a colleague who cycled in found an area of -8C. Brrr!

Re: The Weather Thread.
As mentioned on Facebook, the roads were fine but my car decided not to turn the fan on when I got traffic and got itself rather hot this morning. The irony of this happening when the dash reports -3 at the time..
Re: The Weather Thread.
-7 on my drive in this morning. Felt like it too.
While lowering this yesterday I had the wheels off and noticed the tyres are actually winters, proper snow ones in fact.
Have never had them before, fingers crossed for a proper dump of snow before I head back this evening.

-3 according to the car this morning. Mitigated by a stunning sunrise and blue skies (and having the car on winter tyres obviously).

Re: The Weather Thread.
that looks awful down there! Is that the lowest standard setting or have you modified anything?
Re: The Weather Thread.
I've changed the sensor links so the adjustment range is now lower. It still needs adjusting a bit but I'm confident it'll look fucking ace when I'm finished.
Re: The Weather Thread.
Amusingly my stepson sent me a text, and a video, showing the radiator fan on permanently on his car. I got him to check the coolant, which was all gone. Opposite problem for him, but more terminal (if he hadn't switched off quickly at least).
Re: The Weather Thread.
You have to be really special to lower your 4x4
How about not having a sig at all?

More or less special than someone who fits a winch, lift kit and big nobbly tyres to a 4x4 which spends 99% of its time driving around a city?

It’s really coming down now, going to go for a drive soon to make the most of it.

Re: The Weather Thread.
Drove around Alkham and Elham in Kent.
A Picanto was stuck outside the steep road going past the driveway, I offered a tug but he decided to turn around executing the slowest out of control comedy 3 point turn I have seen. This road is in the middle of the valley so the end of the other side of the road also has a steep climb - let’s hope he found a way out.
Lightbars are pretty useless in blizzard conditions
But they look cool
Also my LED lights whilst fucking bright don’t output very much heat so I kept having snow buildup on them necessitating a wipe every 15 minutes.
