So perhaps heavy snow there is as rare as it is here. -- Col Bolton, Lancashire 160m asl Snow videos: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3QvmL4UWBmHFMKWiwYm_gg |

writes Oh dear! https://twitter.com/twitter/statuses/932196044384989184 I suspect that they had freezing rain before the snow, so that there's a hidden layer of ice. -- John Hall "George the Third Ought never to have occurred.

That's what I thought, because snow on its own isn't that slippery; I drove from Stowmarket to Stansted one night in snow that deep and had no trouble. -- Graham P Davis, Bracknell, Berks.

Near the end of the video we have the tangled-up vehicles all sliding down the road together and it reminded me of the debris that gathers at the head of a flash flood. All very amusing - nobody hurt but quite a lot of bent metal. Tudor Hughes. |

All very amusing - nobody hurt but quite a lot of bent metal. Tudor Hughes. I thought the same, reminded of this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxweiRNlHbo . I'm not sure which is most amazing, the fact nobody was killed, or that the NT were allowed to rebuild the car park on the flood plain. It was the damage caused by cars swept off their nice tarmac flood plain, that made the big difference to previous floods. Not the river level, which was just as high on 2 occasions in the 1950s. (OT) I remember when above Bedruthan steps was a green field and a scramble down to the beach. Then the NT saved it - by laying down tarmac, providing a coach park, a visitor centre and closing the path. Other developers would have faced greater scrutiny, well excepting Peter D'Savary's destruction of Lands End. Graham Penzance |
