Is it true to say winter never happened?
I added an LJ to my profile but last time I owned one was back in somewhere like 1984.

Well as usual it never happened for Kidsgrove Stoke-on-Trent, and I guess that's it for another year.
Had to drive up to the Derbyshire moorland to find any snow. So I can confirm that summer road tyres appear to be the best choice for me in my location, they cover all 4 seasons, well the seasons we get.:laugh:
Global warming is making tyre choice a little easier, result.

I was in a briefing yesterday with one of the heiracrchy from flight-planning and they were under the impression that things could in fact change - the message was "winter isn't over until its over" pointing out that much of last year's snow arrived in March. But yes it would be fair to say we haven't exactly had a winter ...Yet

IF IT AINT BROKE, KEEP FIXING IT UNTIL IT IS

Cool news Max, hope we get a little more winter. Not for everyone, but I like a bit of snow.

While I understand the draw of snow for those that love it, its not for me - especially working out on a bleak airfield trying to keep warm.
I live for the summer - hence my leanings towards convertible cars! ;)
