That looks about the same as what we're getting in Dublin. There's abunch of cars outside my place in Dundrum that haven't moved since the first snow and now have the guts of a foot of snow on top. Looks great, travelling is a nightmare though.

Ok, not quite a frozen FTO, but here is what greeted me this morning, and that's just what fell last night. Really struggled getting into work this morning. And its still snowing here, might have to walk home.

not quite sure, but i would say, without prior knowledge to the cars you own that that looks like a snow covered s2k?

Thats it Rich, details of it here. I should have taken a pic after I scraped the snow off the headlights, looked really menacing. :twisted: I have a couple of bags of gravel in the boot to try and help with traction, but it is not a good car for this weather. :?

Oh dearey me Masa, that is Tres Dangerous..when we had our piddley little amounts of snow over here I frequently witnessed peeps doing that very thing...driving around with igloos installed on the roof of their cars. It looks awesome, right up untill one of the following things happen.


1. On a straigh they gain speed, Igloo flies off and lands on windscreen of car behind them
2. On the move at speed Igloo smaheses onto road and creates (more) dangerous spot, for other Igooists to try and avoid by braking and swerving (also known as Bad driving when its all freezy).
3. Iglooist brakes and Igloo immediately responds by sliding onto bonnet and windscreen completely obscuring the view of whatever caused the iglooist to brake in the 1st place.

Iglooing is fun, but it is dangerous..
