any snow yet?

[chesters1]

nothing and probably wont be any , after the "hurricane" fiasco of a few years ago the weathermen will over estimate everything ,if it does snow the will say "told you so" and when it doesnt everyone will be happy it didnt ,the weathermen are in a win win situation ,have you noticed the find it difficult to predict even the next days weather :mad: watch teletex the forcast changes WITHIN the 3 days it predicts :confused:

We've had a wee dusting of snow and pellets from shower clouds today in Orkney and we can see accummulations on the high ground.

Temp just above freezing and wind Northerly 16kts.

 

Brrrrrr

i`m all ready the honda90 has its new tyres ,with a hard to find "knobbly" one on the back ,its very nasty that even the honda official "shop" doesnt stock tyres for it only a standard "slick" type :mad: for christs sake it was only discontinued in 2002 and thheres 40,000,000. been sold :mad: i had to order the tyres i wanted and they will be unavailable soon :mad: :mad:

the slick type are ok in the summer but the slightest bit of rain and the a*se end is all over the place no grip at all in ice or snow :mad:

Going to Manchester 2mmorw using M1 North and M62 leaving about 10 o'clock in the morning info would be appreciated.

No snow in Bedfordshire as yet, cold though

This is the mountainous region of West Yorkshire calling.

 

No snow yet, cold though.

 

Tinca.

Straight up M1 (if you are coming from the South of course! )

At Wakefield turn onto M62 West, follow it until you get to Manchester. Easy.

 

However.....the M62 is a notoriously busy motorway. I think after 10 o'clock the main volume of traffic will have subsided.

 

Be warned though....if the snow comes, especially on the Yorks/Lancs border and it comes down heavy it is not unusual for the motorway to close due to being impassable.

Take care.
