Yeah, freezer, fridge, cupboards and emergency store are always full here in winter. Looking highly unlikely I'll be able to get out of the village on Friday, Jnr has fuck all chance of getting to Sixth Form at Clitheroe and I won't be Carnforth-bound. Quote

Funny thing is, I think our local weather is generally milder/gentler than other parts. We seem to get away with the more extreme weather. Perhaps as we are just before the hills? Bloody windy overnight, mind. Surprised it wasn’t given a name. Quote

bolton_blondie Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 Not the best weather to be in the spare room with the windows open and no radiator knocking all the blown plaster off the walls 🥶 Quote

But still, you’d hang back a bit and see if you’d any sense Quote

Seems to be very much isolated on the higher ground. My car had a tiny dusting but nowt on the ground, and only took 35 mins from Leigh to Manc this morning. Quote

lobbypond Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 Is that it? Was expecting 7 foot snowdrifts when I woke up. It's all a bit like last summers heatwave hysteria. Quote
gonzo Posted March 10, 2023 Author Posted March 10, 2023 Excitedly woke the kids up at 6am to show the snow outside. Its a rare occurrence over this way because of the salty air. They were convinced it meant the day off. No lads, the stuff will be melted by 9am and it will be like a summers day Quote

I thought more that the sea is warmer than land, but my geography lessons were many years back. Quote

Spent a half hour digging the car out of a snowbank this morning and an hour doing the 7 miles from home to the M65, but once on the M-way, plain sailing and it's lovely here today. Quote
