    Scared tulipeless about this evening…..

    My arms are aching from this mornings drive – feel like I have wrestled a tiger.

    My drive is over Englands highest motorway, over the pennines from Cheshire to West Yorkshire, so expecting it to be a very wild one this evening, on the massive assumption that the M62 is open, and has not been blocked.

    The company flagpole is at a 30o angle, and the clouds are whistling past at an alarming rate.

    This is going to be an impressive storm I think.

    How are things in your area?

      I drove that road on Monday morning this week for the first time - was certainly an adventure, the little traction control light was constantly flickering on and off!!

      Good luck, I may need to do that road tonight too which I am not looking forward to!

        Same journey (well, jn18 to jn26), thought it wasn't that bad TBH.

        A few cars were snaking and weaving about.

        Edit: Oops, jn20, not jn18

              M1, M42, M6 or A65 might be alternatives
              Just saying like.

              where there's chaos, there's cash !

              I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong!

                In Halifax at the moment and do the journey on the M62 from Manchester every day. Today was typical of the week so far, a bit windy, its dull and wet but that's about 6 months from November to April typically.

                Weather looks like it may be deteriorating but surely you can't have sore arms from driving in a bit of wind?

                  Journey this morning was hellish. 3 minute walk to the tube station, then under cover all the way to my desk. Not sure how I managed. Must be the contractor never-say-die attitude

                    Jeeves had my lear jet gleaming after spending all night washing and waxing it. I was piloted to Aruba and chauffeured to Tierra del Sol for a quiet afternoon's golf.

                    Sorry to hear about your trifling experiences with the awful English weather, old boy.
