I love the snow - had great fun in my Polo getting to work through 13-inches of snow in February. My route also takes me down a very steep and twisty country lane... All I can say is thank God for ABS breaks ;)

Here I am after dropping by my parents:

Try to separate your steering, braking, gear changes and acceleration as much as you can when you're driving in the snow. Doing it all at once increases the chance of putting the car in to a slide.

Nice!
We've had lots of snow in Crawley again. It was 8-inches in my garden and it didn't really stop all day yesterday.
Got a couple more pics of the polo in the snow so I'll post up later.
