seems that several US states (north east in particular) have been getting plenty of snowfall, while up here we've been enjoying rather balmy weather for the season and ALOT of rain.
a cold snap for us is long overdue....first time in ages we had a rather green Christmas.
out of curiosity how does the Mini handle in the snow??
