Share your tales of snow

Is it snowing in your part of the world today? If so, share your pictures and tell us how your Land Rover made your life easier while the two-wheel-drive world ground to a halt!
There's four ways to share, quickly and easily.
  • Post a comment below (click on 'comments' and just type in your story - it'll be there for all to read)
  • Send a picture by email. Use the following address and it'll be published direct on to this blog as a post: hold58steps2blog@photos.flickr.com What ever you add in the body of your email will be published with the picture - so tell us a bit about who took the picture and what it is showing. If you camera phone has an email function you can send it direct to this blog from your mobile. nb There may be data transfer charges by your network provider for this. Keep the image small and the cost will be low.


  • If you find it easier to simply send an MMS (a picture on a text message) send it to 07736353590. This is the slowest option because it does not publish direct to the blog.

  • Or just send an email to david.cushman@emap.com with your image attached. less than 512kb a pic please.

Land Rover is doing it's bit. The company said yesterday: "Land Rover is on standby to offer the services of up to 100 vehicles and their off-road experts, following extreme weather warnings for central and north-west areas of the UK.

"As in previous years, all 10 Land Rover Experience centres in the UK will be available tomorrow (Thursday) to assist the local emergency services - including highway patrols, fire services and local police forces – helping people get home safely. They will also help to recover vehicles broken down in the bad weather and vehicles involved in road traffic accidents.

"John Edwards, Land Rover UK managing director commented: "Year after year Land Rover has assisted local authorities in severe weather and emergency situations. With such an extreme forecast for the next few days, we've assured them that our vehicles will once again be available should they need them."

"Land Rover UK has also this afternoon (Wednesday) dispatched a fleet of vehicles from their head office in Warwickshire, to support police forces in the West Midlands, Warwickshire, Northamptonshire and West Mercia areas.

"Land Rovers have a towing capability of up to 3.5 tonnes, permanent four-wheel drive and advanced off-road technology such as Terrain Response™. This includes a snow setting to utilise the vehicle's electronic controls and traction aids in slippery and treacherous conditions.
Land Rover Experience Centres offer a variety of courses and training to teach safe and responsible off-road driving skills."
