Lunch news says there is a storm coming in. Storm Goretti.

Batten the hatches, run for the hills (maybe not).

Just one GorettI, give it to me…🎶

Ice on the car this morning was only half frozen and just slid off the glass

It is all clearly melting now - can;t see it lasting much longer

The ice on our cars was quite something, at least a cm of ice plus fresh show !

It's starting rin here now

rain - remember that - like snow but clear and not white

anyway - that's what is coming down
and the forecast says 4 or 5 degrees from now until morning

From living on Wirral in my teens '85-'92, I'd struggle to remember snow falling, nevermind sticking.

From living on Wirral in my teens '85-'92, I'd struggle to remember snow falling, nevermind sticking.

I remember one year - probably early 1980s as I was walking to the station - when we had a lot of snow and there was a huge raft of it on teh junction by Moreton station for many weeks

I also remember a lot of time when I was jealous because I found my friends in Thingwall had been out sledging on the hill in Arrow Park and we didn;t even think of it because there was not even a single flake near us
and I did go through at least 3 sledges over the years
including one blue one made of steel (?) tubing that went like greased lighting after my Dad suggested rubbing the runner with an old candle!!!


so if did snow - but most of that was in the 1970s probably except for the walking to the station bit
