Well, it's that time of the year again!
According to the forecast on the MetOffice (whom I have grown to trust more than other sources), it's going to snow-snow-snow for the next few days.
I've (perhaps foolishly) just purchased a BMW 328i with NO traction control or ABS, so I'm quite terrified.
So... please post in here the second you get a drop of the white stuff (I mean snow, Helldemon/Lexx).

sleet here in the east midlands (derby) for about 10 seconds than as usual rain.
Friends in london tell me they have snow however
You will love the beemer dude, just sold my 318i touring and that drifted like a mofo in the wet even with a poxy 1.8 4 pot engine
4 wheel drifting in the snow is hilarious in my landrover too

Even those all-singing all-dancing gizmos won't save drivers who fling their cars around regardless.
Us Brits never could cope with a bit of snow on the road. Scandinavians must find that rather amusing

None of my cars have ever had any of those newfangled devices and I could still drive through snow. What is wrong with the yoooof of today
No snow here. Just ice. Going to put my skates on. See you in hospital.

You think you have it rough. I own a nissan skyline which has just been picked up from the garage which I have not drove in months.

I'm on the borders of where the snow may fall... and I've booked today (Yes today!) to go off to go Christmas Shopping and see Avatar.
So please, any BMW owners stay clear of Bath, Bristol, M4 and the M5.
Edit: P.S. Outside check at 2:30pm - No snow, just annoying Chrimbo lights from neighbors across the round - glad my bedroom is the other side of the house!

haha!
Well, we just had 3 whole minutes of snow here in Sheffield.
@ Hoder; I've been on a skid control course... coincidentally, they used M3s, so it was very similar to what I'm driving now.
My fear isn't so much the losing control and going sideways.. but the getting stuck on a 5% incline!
@Brammers - I envy your day off to see Avatar. I'm seeing it on Sunday with the Mrs... 3D screen booked!

I had the R33 GTS-T RWD for a while. Loved it, but it had a welded diff so it wouldn't even go in a straight line without drifting...

I kinda of have a car, by which I mean I have one in bits in my parents garage.
I'll be going home, getting a ride from my mate in his Asbo.
As I speak it has started snowing.

Met office are saying that Yorkshire/Humber & North East has an 80% chance of heavy snow.
Has it started settling anywhere? or is it just wishy-washy piss poor snow?
