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

PS. For those that were wondering why there wasn't much snow on the ground in the picture, I had been asked to move so the snow ploughs could clear the area, hence the rush job. I drove her out of the "drift" that she was in with no effort. Snow program, low range, high suspension - piece of cake! 2014 MY RRS HSE Dynamic

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! Laughing 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.

On the flip side, I don't do any driving once here, and they are pretty good at keeping the roads clear. (and I have a set of X5 wheels & tyres in the garage that I need to ebay to make room for the RRS ones) 2014 MY RRS HSE 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.
