Polar Vortex

You people up north know you are not legally bound to live in the crap, you could move..

...to Florida? I'm not ready for that yet. And I think if I do end up heading for better climates, I just may bypass you altogether and set up shop in Costa Rica. Maybe...

Costa Rica is nice I am told.

At least there you know your getting socialism. Unlike here where it's being pushed on us underhandedly.

Last time we got the "polar vortex" at our place, this appeared overnight:


There's my BMW and my wife's Citroen MPV in there somewhere.

It's looking a bit worrying, the same sort of weather pattern (easterly winds, off the North Sea) with low pressure to the west of UK, is becoming more common. If the wind stays westerly, we're usually protected from heavy snow by the Pennine Hills.

That sure is a lot of frosting, is that butter cream?

When you get to Costa Rica, you might want to look up CaribbeanZombie for a job. He has my dream occupation.

Could be, it was slippery.

Problem in UK is that the authorities aren't really well geared up for snow clearance, nor are most homeowners, because it only snows here on a random basis. Once the roads are snow covered, traffic comes quickly to a standstill because winter tires aren't commonly on sale, let alone fitted by the average car owner.Two years ago, 80 vehicles were stuck on the main route past our village and remained there for three days. The occupants were rescued and many had to stay in a local village hall which was converted to a reception centre. I had winter tires and carried on driving to and from work as normal, once I had dug our a pathway up our road. I had to do it almost single handed because no-one else dared drive their cars anyway.

If snow fell here every year, people would hopefully be better prepared.

Actually, once I get there, I'm turning into one of these guys...
