I've just had to ride my motorcycle home. It was Ok on the A-roads and dual carriageways, but when I got to my local estate, the snow was compacted into sheet ice.

I got off and decided to push the bike home, but my feet couldn't get any grip and I couldn't get the bike to move without me falling over! Fortunately a guy saw me struggling and came out and helped me push it. Of course, it turned out he was a biker as well :-)

Anyway. The "blizzard" turned out to be a nice little snow fall, so we ended up having a snowball fight at work today! :-D

it's not much fun trying to keep my motorbike upright while banging my hands together to keep them warm, wiping snow off my visor, and waving my legs to get the snow out of my boots


Not for you, anyway. :-P

Fecking ice!

Our path is slightly clear, but the pavement at the end and the road is just crap solid snow with lots of ice surrounding it.

What should take 30 seconds to walk out of our street can now take 5 minutes.  10 if you've to avoid a car!

It's all a distant memory now, on Friday we were greeted to a view similar to the inside of Kate Moss's nose but by Saturday it had all turned to gritty brown standing water.

Aahh, the ice hasn't lasted long :-D

It's almost gone now.  Just a few unseen patches here and there.

We had about 2 decent days worth back up in the north east around Dec 30th or so. Alas it rained soonafter which accelerated the thaw. Pity...

We had quite a bit in the end.

What was odd though is that it seemed to linger solely around our road for much longer than anywhere else.  There was still thick icy/snowy/slush in our road, when everywhere else was clear.

There was still some remnants about as late as Wednesday this week.
