Snow & Panic



This morning when I poked my head out of the front door to check for motorcycling suitability the only reason I didn't get on the bike was the wind. It wasn't too cold, there was no rain, snow or even a frost. Then it all changed! The three pictures above were taken over the space of a couple of minutes. My usual route that skirts around the outside of Nottingham was blocked and so I turned around and braved the city centre traffic. It was a good call as it was all blue skies and flowing traffic. The 'city folk' had no idea what was happening a few miles outside of the city limits. I saw several abandoned cars, the aftermath of a crash and lots of emergency vehicles heading in the opposite direction and all because of a few minutes of heavy snow. The picture below is the view from my office window when I got to work - there's a little cloud but the sun is bright. Hopefully, we'll have no more snow until tomorrow when I can take advantage of it with some slippy mountain bike action!!!
