Snow

[Stephen Coates]

It has been snowing quite heavily today.

Went to college for my maths test, but the teacher didn't turn up so I'm guessing he couldn't get there.

Got the bus back, which terminated early (luckily it terminated at my stop). As soon as I got off it was announced on the radio that all First Mainline busses are cancelled. Don't know about other operators.

Here is the view from my bedroom today: http://stevecoates.net/snow/thrusday.jpg

That doesn't look like as much snow as we've had in the south from that last pic. Mad how our public transport system grinds to a halt at the first sign of cold weather!

Well, this morning I had a long journey ahead of me, as I was supposed to be driving to Kent .... yep that's right KENT .... from Northampton ..... in that snow!
So, I set off, and it was slow going, with only one route out of Northampton that was actually moving (no cars stuck etc.) so I took that, got on to the M1 and it wasn't to bad (although a bit slippy)
Anyway, once I got past Newport Pagnell services, the traffic problems were down to non-existent. Once I got down to the M25 though, things changed ..... the snow had been traded for heavy rain and really thick fog ..... so now I could drive in a straight line without skidding, but couldn't see a damn thing
Anyway, I got there in the end ..... set off at approx. 8:00 and arrived at my destination at 12:00 .... what a bloody journey!
I've got to do the same thing tomorrow evening (although back to Northampton) ..... wish me luck!

Well last night we had some more snow. Still not as much as they said but tonight we're looking at more again.

The rather pathetic snowman (Bert) was made by my niece and nephew on Saturday with what remained of the old snow and looked bad before the new snow fal but now just looks awful.

No snow here any longer. Just lots of heavy rain and flooding!

I bet Australia would really like some snow about now! Those fires are really bad.
