I took Jess (the quad) out last night in the snow.
Two wheel drive, nobbly tyres and a fixed rear axle in the snow equals FUN FUN FUN!
Came home looking like a snow man. I'm going out later again today and I'll make sure I take my goggle cam (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8213385985340335478) with me.

Is there plenty up there at the moment??
Sutton Bank open?
Saltergate?
Blue Bank?

There's enough. Not a major "show stopper" amount, but enough to play in. The hills in The Wolds where I ventured last night had about 3-4 inches with some drifting in places. If SWMBO allows, I'm planning on heading up to Mount Misery (http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=494500&y=489500&z=3&sv=494500,489500&st=OSGrid&lu=N&tl=~&ar=y&bi=~&mapp=newmap.srf&searchp=newsearch.srf) and then, time permitting, up to Goathland.

Well, I made it out this afternoon. Had great fun. Roads were nice and clear(ish) until I made it to Ebberston. About 3 inch on the roads and 4-5 inch on the gravel roads.
Headed up through Ebberston and along the edge of Dalby Forrest. Did I lane I've not done before. The entire lane was virgin snow and I wrote my name in the snow (he he :wink: ). Paid a visit to my dad over at Fordon then back home via the High Mowthorpe top road. All in all, a nice afternoons/evenings quadding.
I DID remember to take the goggle cam, but there was a slight technical problem. I had a great dollop of mud on my goggles right where the camera is. :oops:
If the snow remains, I might go out again tomorrow.
