    Yes your correct it as 81/82 I was an apprentice at the time I arrived into work at 5.45am to be confronted by a time officer who took weather measurements every 4 hours and he just couldn't believe what his outside thermometer was telling him. I was working with two 60 plus year olds that morning and we had to walk down through a depression carved out of rock where we remain convinced it was even colder, some of the frost damage had to be seen to be believed.

    82/83 and 95/96 winters we had minus 21 temps here in the West Highlands walking in it was like having wee pins jabbing your cheeks.

    This event is just a typical West Highland Storm so far here. Windy, lashing rain, cold nothing out of the normal.

    I've got a full set of Nokian Weatherproofs 215/55/ 16s love them very precise and grippy couldn't fault them. Car came brand new with Michelin Primacy 3s hated them car was twitchy as hell. Replaced them with a set of Dunlop Wintersport D4s which suited the car fine, Nokians are every bit as good possibly even better. I would happily buy the Nokians again.

    Signing on for Winter 2015/16, looking good for weekend, been lurking all year. Dunlop Wintersports D4 been on since last year, excellent tyres, car prefers them to Michelin Primacy 3s sits better on road 5% more fuel consumption though. One and only time on snow last year they were brilliant.

    Got to do the smug snow tyres thing today 3 young guys took 20 mins to get up a wee brae in front of house I was brushing snow off car. While they compacted and polished the surface then they disappeared I gets into car out of drive up now really slidy brae and catch them up, stuck on a slight incline I come to halt then proceed to drive round them in thick snow. To hear one of them shout how's that old punter able to do that and you can't !
