Snowed under ....
How to disrupt the UK. Let it snow. A mere four inches of snow and the country is almost paralysed. OK, the problem is that we don't get it often enough, and, when we do we don't have the equipment to deal with it.
The Monk's car is the one cleared of snow - ready to get on the road South West.
Where, on the continent, they have tyres for snow and change from summer to winter tyres in the Autumn, here we run on the same tyres all year round. There, they plough and grit around the clock, here we wait until it snows, then grit without ploughing! Or better yet, we grit, let it snow, turn to slush, freeze - and then grit.
Either way, a three and a half hour journey turned into six and a half.
Oh, and today its trying to rain.

Where MB lives in the SouthCoast section of Massachusetts, that would be called "just a few flurries".
