But at least we had studded types so ok to drive on packed snow/ice down to about minus 35 deg F. When overnight fall was above 40 inches well just dig the car out! Wellies with snow in over the top always make a lasting impression as the snow inside melts slowly and is a bad experience - much worse that minus 35F! -- Regards Eion MacDonald -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
