Let it snow

After the dusting of the white stuff just before Christmas, I don't think the UK was expecting another dump so soon and in such large quantities! Temperatures dropped well below zero.

The local Eskimos set up camp outside the house

And the Camper gained a fluffy white poptop, with the locks frozen shut and the snow weighing down from above, I left it for a week until it started to thaw a little before removing the icy covering, with predictable Volkswagen build quality and reliability a pump of the throttle and turn of the key fired the flat four into life with no problems, it would be another week before the deep snow had gone and the Camper would take to the roads again.

The Beetle was safe and warm(ish) in the garage so required no snow clearance, with RWD and all the weight over the back it became the ideal frost wagen, taking any weather condition in its stride it never stopped!
