Have you got snow yet?

Gone really horrible here now. The snow started melting and then it has frozen. Neighbour just came around to tell she's abandoned her car in the middle of the street. Looks like I'll be helping her shift it when her husband gets home.

 

It's not sleet or halestone, it's not snow, it's raining very small particles of clear ice..!!

Braved going to the match today. Snow started about 1pm and a little drift action in the car park in the Merc was in order.

 

Gave in at half time as mini Mooret was turning blue and Burnley were losing too.

 

Struggled home with ice and snow everywhere. Chose the route that was flattest and kept the speed down, but still ended up sliding downhill towards a roundabout with all 4 wheels locked up at no more than 2mph!

 

Managed to time it right and miss everyone.

 

As you may have gathered live near to Burnley and we now have about an inch of ice. Yes ice not snow. It rained earlier and then froze creating a layer of ice on everything. Then we have had sleet, rain, a little snow but mainly hard ice crystals. With the wind it feels like you are being shot blasted.

Just walked around to the mother in laws with Tiny H. I made the mistake of not putting a hat on and now feel like my bald head has bene exfoliated. Horrible ice crystals are still coming down hard.

I work nights and only got up a short while ago !! It's quite deep here in Chesterfield, great the first day of my week off in which I intended to detail the Supra and service the Astra :( Looks like an unproductive week off, I wish I had a garage will someone build me one for a bag of Haribo ?
