you choose the right motor for the snow

The dual carriageways were down to one lane. I could either sit behind an artic at 40kph or go off piste. Problem was, the spray from the wagon froze on the windscreen at -20C and the washer fluid was frozen. After passing a lorry I had to drop the driver 's window and spray neat de-icer on the screen while still driving. 

I had used the car for feeding pheasants and pigeon shooting and had Dunlop Winter Sport tyres on it.

yes, there's a bit of snow but a lot of drifts as the snow is like power at the moment....this cold snap came right through Ottawa and we got the tail end, it's going up to near double digits by Sunday evening...according to the groundhog on tv yesterday, he predicted 6 more weeks of winter to spring.....lol lol lol
