Heavy thick flakes just started at my mum's in Hengigstbury. It' not settling but looks beautiful. Not sure what it' doing in central Bournemouth but keeping a close eye on getting home.
Morning all. Haven't been on for a while as my eardrum decided to burst last week and then the infection spread to my jaw. Lovely!!!!
Trying to catch up on here and the MAD thread now.
Just been out to investigate. My car is no longer frozen, there is still quite a lot of ice laying on the snow but the snow underneath is melting and the freezing rain ice is just falling to the ground still frozen.
I really don't want anymore freezing rain. It's too scary. If we aren't going to get anymore snow I want a rapid thaw now.
Sorry to sound gloomy but the freezing rain really is lethal.
Just ventured outside. We have about 2cm of pure ice on top of the snow. My car is frozen solid and won't be defrosted anytime soon. It is lethal out there.
Just woken up but haven't ventured outside. Had a look out of the window and everything is just shiney ice. The top of my car looks like a sheet of ice. Snow is still on the ground but looks like an ice rink. Luckily my road has been gritted but I don't think I will get my car off the drive.
Just had a look at the power lines and they are glistening shiny. I can only assume this is a coating of ice as well. I pray this turns back to snow or normal rain soon. If the freezing rain continues it won't be good in the morning.
Even for Bournemouth David?
I want to thank you for your explanations by the way. I have learnt more from you in the past few days than I thought possible.
