I hate winter
Lucky where I live icy roads are fairly uncommon and most times I can avoid driving that day and most of the roads are gritted around here as well. Last bad one around here was Dec 2010.
But come on the warm weather as I am getting the lack of nude gardening blues.
We've had a particularly cold spell in the UK over the last week. The first bad morning was interesting as York Area hadn't been gritted.
4x4 / AWD cars are better in poor conditions provided you drive sensibly. Try not to use the brakes, or harsh steering. Brake early, use engine braking, and *expect* problems. Better still, unless your journey is necessary, stay at home nice and warm and naked :-)
The only good thing about winter to a nudist is the ice in your cocktail don't melt as fast.And when your cocktail freezes you know it is very cold.
If your cocktail has a decent amount of alcohol in it, and it still freezes, then you are in the wrong place for sure. Time to head for warmer climates months before it got this bad. By this time, it may be too late to try to travel.
