You need to sit under the hand dryer to thaw out. Cant be pleasant cycling in this weather, remember doing paper rounds in cold weather and hands got frozen to the shape of the handle bars.Past mine too - hateful bike ride in. Face is still frozen

-8 on the high roads this morning!
Electric car batteries don’t like cold, it really reduced my range. Got to work on reserve charge.

the heater must have a big impact too ?

Actually, the heater is quite low. The fans to circulate the air are very greedy though. Better to keep the fans low and use the heated seats and heated steering wheel.
But cold does affect the batteries, knocking 20miles of my range compared even to yesterday.
Having done a few more miles today I will be charging it overnight tonight which also means I can set it to warm the car prior to my leave time so de-icing the windows for me!

Going to leave for work soon. Delayed my leave time a little due to the snow. Cars looks toasty though, all the windows are clear!!
Deciding weather to go into work today. I was going to stop at home, and the way the weather forecast was going we should gave had about 2ft.
Dissapointed about not having 2ft, didn't even get 2 inches, or even 20mm.
I will go into work as got a DPD delivery of renegades Southsea Cruise cards arriving today. Maybe I'll just go in for the morning.

Made it in but the roads were a bit dicey in places. Going to come home lunchtime just to be safe.
A bit of snow on the TA this morning.

Glad I left early, the roads are bad.
Fortunately I’m home now.

Swindon is surrounded by hills on all sides so when a thunderstorm or snowstorm gets in, it often just goes round and round. But of a freak for weather, particularly low altitude weather it seems!
I thought it was thawing last night, but there is still a solid 5” where nothing has touched it.
