Just to try to keep Bauble happy ? , a memory of motorsport and weather .
Arrived at Cadwell for a race in the 70s , possibly first meeting of the year Easter time . Track covered with several inches of snow .
They run a couple of mechanical sweepers around , then a salt/ grid spreader , then asked everybody if they could do a few laps in their tow vehicles .
The track was raceable and mostly dry by mid morning and the meeting carried on as normal .

Nowadays a little bit of snow causes chaos across most of the country .
