We had the odd day of snow up here, but mine have been off for about 3 weeks now. (Although needless to say it snowed a couple of weeks after they came off!)

NE'ER CAST A CLOUT TIL MAY IS OUT... My understanding is that refers not to the month of May but to the flowering of the hawthorn tree, whose blossom is known as May, so I'd say get those winter tyres OFF! Thumbs Up ...

Be true to yourself. That way happiness lies...

My belief is that a" clout " (according to me ole granny 98 and dead for some 40 years ) was it was a form of vest

and having once come back from America 1 Easter early 80.s
west coast line from Euston to Chester blocked by snow,had to go to Leeds then tarns-pennine to get home (some 14 hrs .!!)

i think I might just chance leaving them on till may bank holiday . !!! (winter tyres that is .) not the vest !!!
