Didn't England get some snow this winter? Something like the largest snowfall since 10 years?
This winter in Poland has been quite snowy. We spent last weekend hiking in the mountains, up to our armpits in fluff!! Even in Warsaw we got 10cm this morning, a lot of people thought spring would come sooner if they switched to summer tires. They took the train today...

Yeah, we got some, though where I live it wasnt that good, a couple of inches at most. I did get some decent pics of it though which is always good, but nothing compared to the the one in this thread.

TC: I almost took an identical picture to that one a few weeks ago. That was the day Salvidor Dali filled in for Old Man Winter.

TC - that's a sweet pic... looks at first glance like someone folded a sheet of dough on your bumper LOL.

I've seen those ice storm pictures before and I actually think they are a thing of beauty.

IIRC there is a Honda Beat under that ice behind the SUV.
