Snowing here too!
"Jaques d'Alltrades" wrote Raining here in Norfolk tonight. A bit warmer, too. And hailing just a short while ago, although the sun is out now. Jim Bacon promised it wouldn't be as bad here as has been in the West Country, so I'm holding him responsible if it is. -- Sue |

"Jaques d'Alltrades" wrote in message k... The message from "JennyC" contains these words: "Sacha" wrote in message .uk... It really is. We've got some cover on the lawn, though the cedar tree protects the grass underneath its canopy and snow is lying on paths, hedges etc. I can hardly believe my eyes - snow in South Devon in November! Now.....if it gets windy, this could get interesting! -- Sacha Holland ground to a total halt yesterday! Snow, hail, wind, storm force winds etc. One traffic jam was 88 km long ! Well, you'd expect it, wouldn't you? With all those steep hills and hairpin bends everywhere you're bound to get trouble. Rusty I think the main cause of the jams was people queuing up to get into the garden centres for Xmas decorations....... Jenny |

Liquorice writes Maybe a session on a skid pan should be part of the driving test? That's what our three daughters are getting for Christmas: a day at a skid pan! Maybe it's more a present for an ever-worried Mum, though.... -- Klara, Gatwick basin |

Got back home on Thursday after three glorious days in Torquay.Said we wanted to get home before the snow.Receptionist proudly replied " We never have snow in Torquay".We all know the rest.Changed at Newton Abbot.Three men already on the train from somewhere in Cornwall.They said they had "just got out". Bet they were glad. They say it gets cold "on The Moor". |

Yes, he pops up on the Look East forecast sometimes. I gather he's now MD of 'WeatherQuest' who consult the runes, seaweed and other technical forecasting aides on behalf of the BBC in Norwich. -- Sue |

That sounds great - everyone would be a lot safer if that were required, say, for all new young drivers! s/young// = "for all new drivers!". Old or young doesn't make any difference if you've never experienced loss of control how you react doesn't depend on your age. But this time I have to find something that can be called a fun day.... Unless the driver is very nervous behind the wheel (in which case they shouldn't be on the road at all) they will find it a fun day. Being able to play without risking the vehicle or you life is fun and remember skid pans are very slippy, you don't do things at high speed it's all slow and graceful, almost ballet like. -- Cheers Dave. pam is missing e-mail |
