Never struggled in 20 years, so doubt i will when the forecated Armageddon arrives!

No prep necessary, other than regular maintainence, keep an emergency bag in the car anyway all year round.

However, I'll be surprised if we get more then a hard frost.

Hmf. I even have to pay for VED for mine.

But at least it isn't boingy.

I have Winter tyres and a set of chains in the boot, along with the emergency kit - blankets, gloves, Kendal Mint Cake etc.

My work means I'm on emergency standby to travel almost anywhere in Europe at very short notice.

The limiting factor is the depth of snow - over 8" and the front spoiler becomes a mini-snowplough.

Right, I know who I want a lift with!

I've winter tyres, the emergency bag, 2 litres of coolant (system had a leak so I'm just a tad paranoid) & a well prepared house.

The two things I can't control are the snow & the teenagers' appetites. Better get another tub of hot chocolate en route home - that keeps them happily quiet & warm for about three hours.

The usual advice from the AA etc. when travelling in cold weather : Carry a blanket, shovel, torch, can of de-icer, warm clothes, food and drink, packet of rock salt, can of fuel ....... I felt a right wally on the bus this morning :rotfl:
