Do you have winter tyres? If so and you are sticking to the autobahn shouls be ok. Can your dad get a train? Is very easy from Hannover.
Haven't heard forecast for Fri(am in Gutersloh) DH is supposed to be going to Hannover on Fri for stag do though.

If your DH is away the families office may help-they will probably say they are not covered by insurance, but I have known them send a driver for people's families before.

We had drivers for family visitors in JHQ when DH was on ops. Don't let them give you any excuses!

(And oooo, snow! How exciting!)

they will only pick up if i didnt drive and if it was at silly times.. They are taking them back to the airport on Wednesday morning as they have to be there by 4.30am, which qwith 3 kids I defo cant do.

I think our tyres are all weather ones!! tbh I know sweet FA about them, think will get one of the lads to check them for me ..

Thankl you for the replies..
