Very cold out there this morning -2° , shame the predicted snow events across the country fizzled out again but , we should be use to it on this little island of ours by now.
Typical British press, nothing mystical behind snow on the rails and any snow is not good for the railways. Fact is that steel on steel creates brilliant friction, put anything in between 2 steel surfaces and it will lose traction.
Personally with a weekly 400 mile commute I'm not overly bothered if we don't get snow,. Beautiful if you don't have to drive a great deal in it, pain in the *** otherwise.
The way the models have been flip flopping these last couple of weeks nothing would suprise me regarding next week. Could be freezing cold and dry as a bone or some places could see a good dumping of snow!
