His/her fur appears to have very effective sipes, too, judging by the amount of snow attached to him/her.
That's just snow that she's kicking up. Tell you what though, she traps a ridiculous amount of snow in the fur at the back of her legs though.

A sad reminder of why winter tyres (or simply staying off the road when the conditions are bad) aren't such a bad idea

I know most reading this thread will find this as nothing new.

Illustrates things very very well. Cheers for that, something to use in future when some moron says they've got a 4x4 and that's good enough
That said, I've got my winter tyres on my Panda 4x4 at the moment and it's fantastic

Would have loved it if they'd put a third car in. 4x4 with winters.
The traction test would have seen amazing results I reckon.
Yeah, my 500 was great in the snow, but the Panda is fantastic

What a great, sensible, honest, no frills test. Top marks to Autocar.
Yeah, well …
How is this relevant that is not even a fiat, some people put snow ploughs on John Deere tractors
Winter's not finished yet by the looks of it!
Looks like some really cold weather is on its way to the UK by early next week. Will keep an eye on Met Office, Netweather etc but it looks like there is a fair chance of some widespread snow....we'll have to wait and see!

Really missing my winter tyres. It's probably not worth the £40 to have them put onto the Volvo rims, but equally I can't find a reasonable set of 147 15"s to mount them to for that car.
Think I'll just have to take it easy this winter and be better prepared come this November.

Hopefully it'll just be for a week or so. Definitely not worth it for that - and they should be cheaper come the summertime.

Don't worry - by 29 March we will have had summer and be heading into autumn.

Hope so! As long as it is not winter because 4c is ridiculous and I don't have that many winter clothes as I live in Greece! Maybe I should bring my Fiat 500 with me and hide in it instead of going for walks in London and then you can all see how well looked after my car is!
