Proper Mary Poppins weather....

[Wilmslow]

Are you affected by strong winds - oooh err missus?

My commute over the Pennines was downright dangerous - the road should really be closed off. I was down to around 50, and even so was shunted by the wind into the next lane. Saw vans facing the wrong direction - absolute carnage.

Smug work from homers - time to revel in the misery of us long distance commuters.......

Wilmslow to West Yorkshire is not a long distance commute.

There were a couple of gusts of wind so strong last night that the sound of the windows being tested at their hinges woke me and I closed them.

It is to me

Learn to drive in those conditions, or get off the road if you can't handle it.

They were going the other way...

Crossing the pennines can be a bit dangerous at this time of the year. The best advice I had was to drive with your windows fully open, to allow the wind to blow through, and to switch your lights off to conserve energy. Also carry a flask of nourishing cabbage barley and sausage soup. If its hot - even better

Oooh, it's blowing out there again. Just had some gusts come from nowhere that launched some dustbins down the street.

Update 2 minutes later: Wind gone again now.

I quite like it when it's like that, apart from on recycling day where you end up with a million empty tins and juice cartons blowing around.
I was quite impressed though, the recycling guys picked it up, rather than just emptying the bags/boxes.

I enjoy driving in extreme weather conditions. With the heavy gusts of winds I must say that the Citroen on-board suspension management prevented the car from buffeting and lurching in the wind.
