Off Topic The Weather.

[bum_chinned_crab]

just driven up to Hull from the south. Traffic was stationary from south of Woodall services, back along the M18 to about 3 miles east of the A1 turning. Avoid if you can!

I wonder if anyone has any views on what motorists might have been able to use in order to make driving both easier and more safe?

Perhaps tyres designed to function in wintery conditions

Tyres of a wintery nature?

We went to the Christmas Markets in Manchester one evening that Winter. Sat waiting in the car for the train to arrive it was -11. I remember thinking I should have brought a coat. I was wrong, the light jumper was adequate.

You had a jumper on in such clement weather, Ben?!

Tied around my waist, a fashion accessary.

Was that the one when it was really cold? People already seem to have forgotten that minus 15 was the norm. The snow genuinely didn’t melt on my street for over a month.

6 weeks at least i believe.
That wind is very cold at the min though

It was the coldest December for a century.

It really did snow that year. We were having to dig people's cars out at work. Many just abandoned.

I walked to cott square from castle hill in a blizzard, passing a **** off truck who's wheels were just spinning on castle road.

Managed to jump on the last bus running that night.

That was ****ing great. They told us all to work from home over Xmas. I didn't have a lap top but they paid me anyway. Class.

They should use their heads more.

Got caught in a blizzard in St Ives this morning. Locals say it’s the worst they have seen in years. A bit of snow makes these Cornish lads shiver !

Someone said today "A bad winter will always be followed by a good summer". Is this true? I hope so, a ****ty summer is the worst kind of weather for me.

[BlackAndAmberGambler]

Where I am has had no gritters seemingly within miles of it, and I'm fine. Everyone else on the roads however...

It's a bit of snow and wind ffs. Why do people always act like the world is ending?

Too many "snowflakes" in my opinion these days.

Then stay at home and have a bevvy"

Little rhyme I always remember :

If it's cold outside.
Go inside.

Works every time for me.

And there's another :

If it's wet outside.
It's probably raining.
