Luckily we rarely get the ICE storms that some of you experience. With us Rain hits a cold front and turns to snow. But as we live in a mild climate We get the snow melting -but then freezing. When that is on the road we have problems- on power lines and we lose power- On buildings and the get damaged. In general this is not a common occurence over here though.

But that Snow that we have had on and off since November is due to come back later this week. And next wek does not look promising either. Better clear up by the 22nd Feb though- I am on holiday for a week and travelling 400 miles North. The area I am going to was just getting over the floods but is currently snowed in. Think I will be taking the MTB to get around on.
