What's wrong with doing the work in the snow? Unless you've had the bonnet up all night then the engine bay will be clear, and all the heaving and swearing at the passenger side gasket will keep you warm...  ;D

Count yourself lucky fella, just melted the snow which had been here since before Xmas.  It only got up above freezing a couple of days ago, only during the day mind.  Before that the coldest I saw was -14C around the 7th Jan brrrrrrrr

Most of the schools I did were either north or West of Stornoway, oh and a few on North Uist. I must say I loved it over there, the people are something else ;)

Just had a look, some of these might have been on North Uist. Airidhantuim, Bernera, Carinish, Lionel, Lochmaddy (North Uist), Paible and Shawbost ;)
