So is anyone going to have trouble getting to teeside on sunday then because of the snow??
It's just dumped and absolute crap load on us and it look set for a while!

It's nice and all that, and produces some lovely photos, but if its going to stop me from racing on sunday, then thats NOT good!:(

Im hoping the snow stops threatening til Monday. its been snowing here (Bury) for most of the evening, but it hasn't been significant and nothing stuck.

I want to race Sunday, how is Middlesbrough for Snow?

Stu 09-02-2007 10:31 PM

It's not sticking in Burnley.

Some folk call it 'laying', what kind of wierd talk is that?

We had some light rain today but its all dried up. Forecast for the next two days is light rain so shouldnt be too bad

Had about 5 inch of snow this afternoon alone, left work early (4pm) and it still took 3hours to do 5 miles.

Hope Kiddy is still on this Sunday, or I might have to blag an entry to an Indoor event in the warm.

Was ace at the bottom of the street, my racer blood boiled through and I was handbraking the Espace round the corner on opposite lock, much to the amusement of the local dimwits.

Snows nearly all gone now though....

bigred5765 10-02-2007 10:25 AM

quick question for the teesside boys,? whats the snow/weather like up there have 120 plus miles to come race tomorrow,
so don't fancy have to creep that fare in slush or snow.?????

tc2k 10-02-2007 01:03 PM

As I said, we havent had snow for about 4 days and even that was very light. Its been light drizzle today and yesterday with not much chance of any snow or bad rain.

How can snow 'stick'? When you get into bed do you say you're 'sticking' in bed, or 'laying' in bed? Snow 'lays' on the floor and other such things. Simple really. :)

Ok so I'm 50 miles north of Teesside, but we've got nooothing.

We had some tasty snow (not yellow) earlier in the week but snowless the last few days. Just tipped down all day. And cold. Brrr.
