This is the view from our kitchen window today. It looks quite pretty but the reality was very different. The road outside our house was covered with a treacherous sheet of ice. It has quite a steep slope and was more like a bobsleigh run. Any drivers who were brave enough to venture out didn't know what they were letting themselves in for. When they came over the brow of the hill they slid down, completely out of control. We phoned the police suggesting that they closed the road as it was just a matter of time befor there would have been a very serious accident. Because of the dangerous conditions the meeting at the KH was cancelled - the first time I think that has ever happened.
A few pictures of the problems due to the ice. The worst one was when a large refuse lorry lost control and slid all the way down sideways. I was so petrified of what would happen that I forgot to take a photo!
I took this photo from the window last week before the snowstorms.
I just found your blogs.
