Winter wonderland

Yeah, I got some nice footage on a Country lane as the sun was up in a clear blue sky and as the temperature rose a little to melt the snow off the branches and was falling in kind of a magical way. Shame about the noise from the Mway though.

I live right in the middle of the M69,M1,M6 and M42 and there is always some kind of low grumble from the Mways.

Horrible really.

In East Lindsey we are surrounded by the stuff in other areas and counties, but not one flake here. Very wet though. My carers all come from different areas and they tell me it is bad there. E.L. is usually like that, has the lowest precipitation in the UK, over 12 months. The sea is close, and the sea retains warmth longer than the land. However, we have not forgotten 2009/10, when my old village was snowed in: it came straight down the Lincolnshire coast in November and didn’t stop until March.

That was just after a month: it almost thawed, we thought we had survived the worst. It kept part thawing, then freezing and snowing again. The freeze was the worst part, it was almost impossible to get the car out. It went on like that until my birthday, when it thawed and didn’t come again. After March we had a very warm April, we were on the beach.

What a daft climate we live in. Only us Brits can stand it.

The red car in the first pic is my old Motability C-Max. 2.0 litre turbo petrol, fast, comfortable and the first of the C-Max models.
