Well, that went well didn't it.
On the home front, however, our Council seem to be making a much better fist of it with pent-up gritting machines, who've been chomping at the bit all winter to spray their grit, have been unleashed. By all accounts things seem to be OK at the moment across H&F.
I have to say this weird weather (a very mild winter with a Siberian snap just at the end) continues a trend that saw October's autumnal leaves fall to the super-heated ground of 32C heat. Which is why I never cease to be amazed that the global warming deniers on the lunatic fringes always seize on any cold weather as conclusive proof that the theory is bunkum.

OK in H&F? As forecast, it snowed from 5pm last night and the council hadn't even gritted the main roads. Buses only able to move along King Street with great caution. Here's a picture of the Broadway last night http://twitter.com/#!/kjcart/status/165948376502910976/photo/1.
ReplyDeleteApparently they gritted about 5am, just before the thaw started.
There was an LBHF gritter at work on the A40/Old Oak Rd at 4.30pm yesterday..... Iain Muir
ReplyDeleteWithout wishing to throw my lot in with Roger Helmer, I point out only that it is just as silly to pick on any spell of warm weather as proof that global warming is taking place.
