I got bored about 3.30 pm so I've just popped out and gave the car a full on clean. In the dark, almost sub-zero temperatures.
When I thought I had finished I saw a spattering of what looked like cigarette ash blown across my car, lots of white stuff. It wasnt ash. It was snow.
People gave me some odd looks.
Question is: Am I mad to clean the car in this weather at night?

haha, I struggle to motivate myself to clean the car in summer nevermind winter. However I have had quite a few days working on the car in the cold and dark. Last year it was about -3 and I was out with an inspection lamp for hours trying to fix my rear calipers
