Default Something happened yesterday on the way home from the office.

This was yesterday evening in Essex on the A12 on the Boreham bypass around 16:45-17:00

I was driving, the boss used my camera.



It came down so quickly that it was settling on the road between me and the car in front, you can see that from the track on the road. My headlights were practically useless because they just got covered.

5 miles either side was clear!

Managed to miss the blizzard that my brother and sister told me about though

I woke this morning to find I couldn't get into my car as there was a thin layer of ice over the whole of it. Not frost - ice. Damn Arctic winds with their freezing rain! It's like The Day After Tomorrow Right Now... I mean, right now.

Aye Belmit, that's exactly what it was like, it came down with such a ferocity that we commented it was like that. Frost on the car yesterday, none today but I pulled the stalk for the washers and the jets almost froze in midair as they ejaculated onto the windscreen.

You best keep an eye out for The Quaid then!

Nothing more likely to ruin your day than that

I went to a pub near Alexandra Palace on Tuesday night, after it had been snowing for about half an hour we decided to get the (2 minute!) train journey home. Unfortunately all the trains were massively delayed and we had to wait 15 minutes for a bus. How can the trains **** up that quickly? Ridiculous. And they were still delayed this morning!

my mummy, my kids and I got caught in ice cold rain and 5mins later it was heavy snow.
Kids loved it but it was such a shock as the weather didn't mention snow at all and there we were waiting for the bus getting freezing cold wind blowing on us with heavy bloody snow
It october its not meant to snow yet.
