Winter forecasts from the Daily Express

I was considering driving to a dog show in Colorado this weekend - I went to the one last year. I decided not to enter this year (decision point is about 3 weeks before the show). Lots and lots of snow around the venue, they delayed the start today by 2 hours and it sounds like staying at home was a good idea.

It's been 40 years since I had to drive a RWD vehicle in serious snow, and never one as big as my current van.
