Snow in SW

[gibbon]

Tons of the white stuff down here. Trees aren't use to it so absolute carnage. I can see all of January spent clearing, never seen so many broken branches.

 

Had to rig the crown out of an 80tf Monterey Pine today which was heavily leaning over a house and had already taken out the conservatory.

The roads in blandford and the surrounding roads (even main routes) are covered in frozen slush and compacted snow. We just had snow chains on our defender for the first time.

Shout if you need another saw in Jan Matt (gibbon) it would be a pleasure to come and work with your team, I am pretty busy already, but im sure i could find time!

[Matthew Arnold]

Will do m8. I think we are pretty much sorted but i shall let you know if anything arises.

[gibbon]

That will be the last of the Snow for you lot down in the South West with temps reaching double figures after boxing day when late on a band of rain, preceded by snow in higher regions works its way east across the entire UK by the 27th.

The cold has been mighty impressive and will still leave temps between 5 or 6 degrees in Scotland and Eastern parts of England after the Atlantic low passes after Boxing day but prior to what is now the inevitable milder pattern setting in then their will still be some near record breaking lows overnight thurs and xmas eve as the weather breifly turns very settled after an initial raw easterly flow affects the SE tomorrow and Friday.

Possible reasons for the breakdown were higlighted in the previous thread a while ago and its a system currently affecting New England/Massachusetts USA thats kinked the Jet Stream and the slack passage over us will allow it to direct much nearer than where its currently been more or less non-existent and give us back our more accustommed Atlantic zonal influence.

The harshed cold spell since 1981 though so its been a decent trend setter and the cold is not moving too far away

go to go, 2 deliveries today so we WILL eat with Jesus on saturday
