Sun woke us earlier than usual, clear sky , no snow, cold crisp air around zero, see for miles, RIDE
the bike said that voice.
I left after breakfast with indigestion having listened to the media, 'The whole country is
suffering' and 'the whole country is blanketed with snow', well we had no snow between Preston and
Lancaster and M6/A6 were running as normal during my 4hr ride.
Now after lunch and having listened to the news I'm even more angry. The South East had a snowfall
and there were problems. But this is the end of January, its the middle of the bleak midwinter. What
a bunch of bloody morons, everyone is trying to blame someone else.
Snow was forecasted for possibly Aberdeen and Grampian, East York Moors and the Southeast. They all
got the snow. But while everybody else got on with life, stayed home, drove slower, packed the
emergency kit once again into the vehicle, only the Southeast had problems. Traffic stopped on the
M11 after just one inch of snowfall. Its almost as if snow had never fallen before and as if nobody
had ever driven on snow before.
OK so it got worse causing Stanstead to close later in the night. We dont like that but its a fact
of daily life. That same snowfall continued into Europe, France Belgium and Netherlands according to
CNN, for them its also inconvenient but its business as usual.
My wonderful morning ride has now been spoilt.
I've just heard a radio report of a RangeRover driver who overtook four slower moving cars on a long
sweeping bend and his vehicle slid forwards over the verge through the hedge and into the field. Now
he's blaming the local council and Jim Prescott !
