Surprise!... Express says Harsh winter on the way!

 For all those who've splashed out on winter tyres then this could be the winter it seems worthwhile.... Daily express has got to get it right one of these years surely?...

There were two days last year where my winter tyres were really useful (2 inches of snow, loads of 4x4s getting stranded, I just drove on without issue), would be nice to have more this year, it's a lot of fun!

Every ****ing year the red tops predict arctic conditions when they've exhausted all other stories ... and it never happens, at least not in London and most of the SE

Snowing on Monday on the A9 north of Pitlochry, not much really, a bit of slush at the side of the road & briefly down to 0C over Drumochter. Was wishing I had the winters on at that point....
Drove back yesterday via the Lecht road through Braemar and up over Glenshee and it was +7C. Bizzarre.... but a very entertaining drive nonetheless. Might consider putting the winters on this weekend, though I'm off to see Scotland get humped by the All Blacks at Murrayfield on Saturday, and since drinking shall commence at lunchtime (mainly for medicinal, blow-cushioning purposes you understand), messing about with 30kg wheels and a screaming hangover on Sunday doesn't feel like a good idea..... |

So, looks like the Express might have called it right eventually...?
Do we think this proper winter weather is a one off and it will be back to mild, or is this going to be long lasting severe winter? Re-reading that article it's been pretty much spot on so far.
