Nice of the driver to consider brushing the snow off, for fear of it flying
off at 70mph.. sorry 90mph you did say it was a BMW.. car in 5th brain in
neutral as usual.

IRRC its an offence in Switzerland to drive your car with snow piled up
high.

If so it's a frequently comitted one. I live in Geneva (where,
incidentally, we have a lot of snow at the moment) and don't recall ever
having seen anyone make a serious attempt to get the snow off the roof of
their car. Last winter I saw a small car (a Clio or similar) stop at the
lights and have a foot deep layer of snow slide forward from the roof and
down the windscreen. Most entertaining. I don't think 1.5 inches of snow on
a BMW will cause anyone any problems, though.

Just to gloat... we took the Disco skiing (IYSWIM) on Sunday, on roads with
about a foot of snow. We had the same on the roof (it's a bit hard to clear
it off) but I did clear the bonnet.

Even though we still have no show, two crashes still occurred on the A34
this morning. I nearly think a 110 was involve however I think it had
just stopped to help.

That's right - some on the back and some more inside. It seems to manage
quite nicely without any underneath.

Roads must be empty most days in the winter then. I suppose very one
goes on those efficient never a minute late trains they have over there.

Ah, but a proper Land Rover would have some on the roof as well, just in
case.

We don't have any in Sydney - it's about 28C at the moment and very humid.
Snow would be good.
