I’ve been monitoring developments closely on this but now it’s getting into the more reliable time frame, I thought I’d post a topic. The well known and respected John Hammond says it all in the video below:

Great...the week that my FL2 is in the garage! Snow in a hired hatchback is so much fun

However, their “below zero overnight” and “perhaps not getting above freezing during the day” is what we’ve consistently had here since mid-December, so unless their “foot of snow” materialises we may not notice! 2005 D3 2.7 Auto

Hung like Einstein, smart as a horse.

Might get to try my new steering rack and terrain response switch out. (on private land of course) If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

I think it’s already here! Had to use my motorbike today. I have all the cold-weather clothing plus heated grips. Still the coldest I can remember being on a bike for the last 10 years or more. Bloody freezing. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

Time has come for me to confess.

I am Ian, and I am a steering wheel heater user.

I never thought that I would say this but I have become addicted to switching on the wheel on cold mornings.

I know that there are a few on this forum who will say it is because I am a southener. Sorry.

The only time that I have had a similar urge was back in begining of the 1960's when I paid an addional £18 to have a heater included in my new car. FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)
