Will the snow come next week?

I was regularly told off for "playing silly buggers" when the delights of an empty supermarket car park c/w virgin snow cover presented itself. I always took the opportunity to get my hand in again, a bit of safe practice in case it snowed again and I actually needed the techniques for real... I tried to persuade my better half that it wouldn't do her driving skills any harm to have a go too but to no avail.

You can do this all year round if your car is front wheel drive, just "borrow" a pair of McDonalds trays, place under rear wheels, apply handbrake and off you go. Endless fun, or at least until the trays wear out.
