When does the collective think we can lose the snow for this year

I don't want to temp fate, but I'm going to take my winter 'boots' off the car this weekend

Was forcast snow on saturday round my way  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I can't say I take a lot of notice of the forecasts these days, other than general changes as they seem to 'over forecast' poor conditions to cover themselves & a lot of the public's' lack of common sense.

I think Michael Fish's 'Hurricane FoPa' started it, but it does seem to have got a lot worse in this past few years

First day of march remember last feb

You may have spring flowers poking though in the UK, but here it is still DEEP in snow, minus degrees and will be for a long time yet

End of March it may help a bit, but the snow covered orange can stay for some time - like 2 months  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

Every chance of snow anywhere in the UK until say April. Currently warm westerlies are meeting cold air from the North East across the North Sea/Scotland, hence recent/current snow. Mad to take winter tyres off now IMHO...

Winter tyres still outperform summer tyres until the temperatures get above about 8C, it's not only when the snow's on the ground  Mine: 2012 Golf GTI Edition 35

I thought February was still winter, but we've had a thaw and the snow will be back in December

Thought this was a .com site It may have thawed in the UK but other parts of the world it is still winter
In north Norway it was -40C the other day but It seems to have "thawed" since  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

Yup, so if you follow that point to it's logical conclusion aren't we discriminating against our middle eastern and southern hemisphere members who are 'suffering in the baking hot sun'

good point - so best drop the snow covered banner compleatly, unless they get some of that white crap south of the Med. or at Alice Springs  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.
