berettaman1 Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Well for once the weather forcast was correct looking out at the surrounding landscape this morning from 2AM to 3.20ish ,the snow was coming down like a blizzard, I awoke again at 5.55 and the road otside was clear, but there is still 4" of snow on the roof and garden, I am supposed to be driving up to Llandegla Shooting ground this Morning which as anyone knows is on the side of a steep Welsh Hillside and is never warm even in the summer!. Brrrr,Is it worth it travelling all that way? to get wet , frozen, stuck in the snow perhaps, and to be really P****D off when its formula one race day,... plus World Superbikes, both are on this morning!!! Hhhm, decisions,... decisions.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apbuild Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Got up this morning to find about five inches of the stuff has settled since 5am. It wasn't here then because I got up for the loo and looked out. Just had to contact all of my members to tell them that the clay shoot is cancelled. Our dirt track to the shoot would be a little tricky for some members. Oh well, Sunday indoors watching telly or something! Rob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 We left home at 7am to drive to an Otterhound Club Show near Coventry and turned round at Dartford and came back. The snow had settled from Maidstone onwards and on The M20 approaching Dartford heavy snow brought the visibility down to 100 yards and it was -2 degrees. Of course, now we are back home, its chilly, but nice and dry and the sun keeps coming out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anser2 Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Crazy weather here in Norfolk. Very heavy snow showers with an inch of the white stuff covering my decoys until the sun comes out. All the snow melts and the decoys feel warm to touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
