Thursday
We've had snow!!! Twice this week. Monday, we woke up to find 2-3 inches laying on the ground and it snowed on and off during the day. It had melted 48 hours later, except where our next door neighbours kids had built a snowman. Today we had a flurry of snow which lay for about 2-3 hours. It's very cold and the heating is working overtime to keep us warm. Hope it's not bad weather on Sunday as we have a two and a half hour journey over the Pennine Hills, across the highest motorway ( like US Interstate) in England, to get to Manchester. We have to travel from the East coast to the West coast. We are booked into a motel for an early start the next morning.
Southern England has come to a standstill this week, with the worst weather of the last 11 years. Snow, whiteouts and ice; schools have been closed, roads impassible, railways disrupted and airports closed!! We seem to have been lucky up North and not been as badly affected as further south. The M62, the road over the Pennines, is notorious for ice and snow, so keep your fingers crossed we get across and that Manchester airport is not closed on Monday!!
It seems as though it's cold in Florida - thanks for the weather report on facebook, Paula, so we may just be going from one cold spell to another. All we want is some warmth!! and sun!! and bluegrass!!
