Went out with a shovel to find some damzel in distress. Instead I found bus. Wasn't expecting that. It clipped a lamp post and ended up on top of this:

I just swept the snow off of Fake incase I want to run her out later or tomorrow.

On the plus side, no snow was allowed to enter the engine bay. The snow cap doth cap the snow.

Bit fresh out this morning.

-5C and getting colder before dinner.

-7c is the low here but looks like some places in Scotland hit -20C.

I've been out in the lorry a bit and got stuck a couple of times. It's been -2°C to -4°C, but I did see -7°C on the dash early Monday morning.
