We had this started last week and it would not have made a good video because even though it had been sitting for several months, it started instantly just by touching the key.

Well, it is a Volvo!😄

How cold has it been? The snow caps on top of the tractors look pretty thick.

But it is not fully Volvo, the engine is a 3 cylinder Perkins and has probably been overhauled in recent time and the rest of the tractor is quite worn out so the engine is the last good thing left on it. And it was down to -24C in January and have probably had around 1 meter of snow at most this winter so far.

That’s some impressive snow!

But, get this… over here we’ve had around a meter of rain… in just a few days!🤣

Not quite as much of the white stuff this morning...

Just a light dusting of really powdery stuff that looked more like polystyrene balls.

Which mostly blew away on the way to the station. 

Really appreciating the air conditioning to clear the windows, mind - it's kinda ridiculous that this is the first car I've ever had with working a/c.
