    I have to commute from Northallerton to Malton so everyday I have the joy of crossing the moors which has been good over the past few years to give me my snow fix. A few times this winter Sutton bank has been awful but next week looks like it might be worth working from home. 

     

    I'm usually quite on it thanks to silently following you guys in here and the madness of the model thread but I got caught out in the early December snow. Must have only been a couple of cms on the road but going down sutton bank that night was probably the most terrified I've been as a driver as I was pretty much just a passenger! Sheer luck that I didn't crash, I was crawling down it but it just got to the point where the weight of the car wanted me to speed up and because of the snow I had to go with it. 

    Definitely not liking the look of next week from a commuting point of view but from a building snowmen with the kids and seeing how this all pans out - I couldn't be looking forward to it more. 

    Sounds scary, I hate Sutton Bank at the best of times, surely though they would close it? I go to Ripon every day so am hoping the roads will be ok, but saying that, the high street isn't even usually done so not sure what chance we have with the other roads!

  2. Lee wind and I'll be corrected if I'm wrong is where winds rise over mountains and then hit colder air aloft. Colder air being dense forces the warmer air back down compressing it and making it stronger. Since it's a rippling effect the conditions can effect a small area or course sudden variations in one place. Like when I said from 10 mph to 50 mph and then back down again.

    Thank you  :) that makes sense then when I consider the geography of where i live.
