– Strong winds and wintry showers lashed Britain on Friday, causing chaos at sea and on land. More bad weather was predicted for the weekend.
At least 130 vehicles were stranded on the A66 motorway in County Durham after a heavy snowstorm dumped at least four inches of snow, police said.
Durham police launched the rescue operation late Friday after motorists were stuck for up to six hours near Bowes.
“It is an area that does suffer bad weather conditions, deep snow and what can only be described as treacherous conditions,” Durham police superintendent Graham Hall told Reuters.
On Thursday, a lorry driver died after his vehicle was blown over and struck the central reservation on the M6 in Cumbria.
Strong northwesterly winds of up to 70 mph are set to whip across the country over the weekend, sending temperatures as low as minus 6 degrees Celsius in parts of Scotland.
Central England is expected to see temperatures dip to minus 3 degrees.
The worst weather will be in the north and west of the country with wintry showers and snow flurries spreading southwards.
….. and to cap it all Blackpool now has a new Ferry port, with lorry ferries docking on the beach right under the Blackpool tower. Makes it easier for the drivers to enjoy all that Blackpool can offer I guess!!!
Not a problem where I am, a bit of wind and a bit cold but no different to any other winter.
Dont know what all the fuss is about, its called Seasons… deal with it :wink:
