We are in Val d'Isere - but I think the whole of the Alps got the dump. More due tomorrow & Friday ~20cms or so. 2014 MY RRS HSE Dynamic

That's awesome news for us then as that's where we are heading, your Rangie looks right at home there. Enjoy the rest of your time and thanks for posting. I'm all prepped and ready to rock on my winters

When you 'clear' snow you're not supposed to pile it ON the car |

With apologies to those who don't care about snow reports, we've had another 5 cm since taking that photo.

Least they asked you to move! If that was in Tignes they would either tow it or put the plough down the side of the car! 2003 BMW M5 - 5 Litres of V8 Optimax Slurping Goodness in Carbon Black

SDV6RRS you appear to have the same wheels as me ... are you running the factory Pirelli all seasons or proper winter tyres? Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

Pirelli All Seasons, though I am thinking of getting another set of wheels with dedicated snow tyres on, esp given the weather here today.

I stupidly drove off with a roof load of snow last year ...... it fell forward on to the windscreen on a bend causing a very scary instant blackout ....Took a minute at least to clear with me in the middle of the road with my hazard lights on .... Never never again will I assume it will blow off backwards and I will always substantially clear the roof before setting off .... 2014.5 SDV6 AB Dynamic ...

A really soft brush is good for doing that, and won't mark the paint. MY2016 HSE D SDV6 - gone due to fuel dilution problems.
