Snow Chaos
After a snowfall overnight and temperatures of -4C here in Frinton on sea in Essex, the weather is creating chaos on the roads. We had already had some snowfalls previously but as temperatures rose a little throughout yesterday the snow had begun to melt especially on the roads and traffic was moving normally. With more snow and freezing temperatures overnight roads were more like skating rinks. Even at 7a.m. there were already casualties on the roads, cars overturned and many roads like the A133,A12 blocked for long periods by people braving the weather trying to get to work. No fun in the snow for these poor drivers. Further north conditions are even worse, with the country’s transport system nearly at a standstill.
Fun in the Snow
Even at lunchtime as I write this post, temperatures are below zero. But not all is doom and gloom, snowfalls can be great fun too! As many schools and businesses are closed due to the icy conditions, both roads and pavements too treacherous to traverse, the stay at home kids and adults are making the most of it by having fun in the snow. More snow and a hard frost are forecast for tonight.
