Title: WTF did that weather come from?
Post by: STEMO on 10 March 2019, 22:09:13
Just got back from my usual Barnsley>Bradford>Sheffield>Barnsley run. Cars covered in snow in Bradford and Sheffield, and the spray on the motorway was horrendous. I was appalled by the fact that, until it actually started getting dark, more than half of the vehicles on the motorway had no lights on. You could see no more than about 20 metres, the spray was that bad.
Phew, got to admit I'm glad to get home. Fickin knackered.

Cos people are stupid & rely on 'auto lights' instead of using a bit of common sense and actually turning their own lights on  ???

First thing a nasty gang of squally showers with hail mixed in, followed by 60 MPH gusts along the south coast. One of my bikes blew over, but next doors fence saved it  ::)
Don`t remember this being forcast, but what do they know anyway  :-\

Same thing happened to me yesterday at about 5pm .. and I wasn't wearing a hat, and I have no hair. Couldn't feel my brain by the time I got home ;D

I blame the dog.

Seems Barnsley has twice the snow forecast than we have for Rotherham. :-\

"WTF did that weather come from?" Brexit of course!

Remainiacs & a UK national broadcaster, say it is due US-EU good weather agreement no longer applying to the UK after 29th of March & it was a trial run by the EU over the weekend to show us what leaving the EU protection means. A US government spokesperson has confirmed the weather should improve again once there is, a yet to be negotiated, US-UK good weather agreement in place, but we must accepted all rain & snow being chlorinated with added growth hormones, so we still get heavy showers, especially in April. ::) ::) ::) :-[ :-[ :-[ :P :P :P ;D ;D ;D
