Guarantee for a snow free winter - airports (apparently) are prepared and ready for snow, well at least in Scotland, it was on the Scottish news (don't know about England and Wales) the other day, and the shops/garden centres full of snow shovels and sledges and ads for those chainy rubbery things for your shoes are all over the magazines/papers! Or am I alone in thinking that the better prepared we are the less likely it will snow or be as bad as last winter?
Thats as close to a verification as i need. Regarding the snow chains i used them last year and they helped on the country roads . We had over 3 feet of snow. The country lanes here were very compacted and the snow was still over 4 inches deep.There was no damage on the ocassions i used them.So im afarid your information is incorrect.
I made a simple snow shovel out of a piece of 4x2 for the handle and a piece of 5 ply 4`x 18" x 10" for the blade. Can`t wait to see my wife tackle a snow drift with it.
