Mice! Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 It's happened, its snowed, which means the roads will come to a stand still. M6 is already crawling around 27-25 apparently as there waiting for a snow plow?? If only we knew when the bad weather would be coming ππ But I'm parked on my drive, haven't gone in yet so i don't wake anyone up, be safe people.

team tractor Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 I was out lamping last night for a fox that keeps pestering my mates lambs. It was sooooo cold that we had to stop after an hour.Β The snow was coming down in the lamp and freezing our fingers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 White out here in the Cumbrian Fells, which has turned to ice on the roads. Driveable, but certainly not to be ignored.Β Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benthejockey Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Itβll be worse tomorrow if the frost is as hard as theyβre saying. And I think it will be. It was -1 by 5pm when I was out looking for pheasants. As a side note pheasants that decide to fall and die in icy puddles at -1 make your hands really bloody cold!!!!

Strangely enough, this STILL does not give them any clues as to what the road conditions could be like. They then drive like idiots because they are now late ?

ShootingEgg Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Bristol Airport are having to de ice the planes, some are diverting away from the airport because of risk of grounding. But then the airport is on very high ground and was a test runway in the war for adverse weather conditions.Β Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsh man Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Yesterday we had a Yellow weather warning for East Anglia , we had a few light snow showers early in the morning and that was more or less it , this morning was minus 5 but it kept dry and it got up to plus 4 later on today .
