Our daytime highs right now are pretty stable and comfortable. Nights, not so much.

Had a load of snow come off the roof at the back off the house blocking the back door :o Have just be out clearing it when the rest of it slid off and landed on top of me. Just pleased I had a padded hood on and it was not too compacted :rolleyes:

 

Still snowing here in Whitley Bay and more forecast. Newcastle Airport was closed this morning and hear that Teeside airport is now closed. Not the best is it.

the standard of driving out there is beyond me. why would someone want to dangerously over take me at over 50mph on a sludge covered motorway that has been restricted to 30mph and tail gating on a road thats covered in compacted snow to the point its almost solid ice!

 

i feel like getting out at the lights and having a right good go at them for their utter disregard for my safety and others.

 

 

do you think they are thick or just dont know what stopping distances are for on ice

Probably both Andy. Some folk really are clueless about driving on snow and ice. My car is in my garage and is staying there until the snow has gone !!! :)

The snow off our roof has just been dumped onto the front path. There is a rapid thaw now in progress here on the coast :) so just hoping it will all be gone by morning time,it would be nice. I am sure it will be a different story a few miles inland though :o

snow here but already thawing off the road ,a volvo estate may come from a cold country but its RWD is definitely a thing of the past when it comes to adverse conditions :help:

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

 

Mathew 4:19

Grangers law : anything i say will  turn out the opposite or not happen at all!
