Hull is fifty two miles from here. I have a ticket for today's Championship match with Brentford. The kick off is at 3pm. Afterwards, I hope to drive home via the A63, M62, M18 and M1. It's major roads all the way. Then onto the Sheffield Parkway.
It is a journey I have successfully completed without incident on countless occasions.
However, today the weather gurus are forecasting dangerous driving conditions in the evening with an ice storm and snow as weather fronts collide producing treacherous freezing rain.
Will I survive to write another blogpost? If you don't hear from me again, I am lying on a mortuary slab with a smile on my face - following our inevitable victory over Brentford. So long! It's been nice knowing you folks!
I wouldn't like it without my Pudding Posts so if you go please be careful. Just rain and cold down here in the South.

DeleteI'm sure you'll survive to regale us with more stories about life in Yorkshire. But just in case I hope you have good life insurance in place, for Shirley's sake. 😁
ReplyDeleteYour confidence was well placed Jennifer!
DeleteFreezing cold and a bitter wind in Scunthorpe. Drive carefully.

DeleteAre you mad? Stay at home in the warm.
ReplyDeleteI am mad!
DeleteWhat does your inner voice tell you? listen hard.
ReplyDeleteIt says "A-wop-bop-a-loo-lop a-lop bam boo!"
DeleteI don't know what I would do... I don't drive so can only imagine how difficult it must be in such conditions. Plus I am not very good with cold, wet weather and would rather stay home with the heating on and my warm blanket on the settee.
ReplyDeleteYou are a big softie Meike!
DeleteI won't drive in ice but in your case that is your beloved team. If you did go (and I suspect you did), I hope you were very cautious and traveled safely! Maybe the bad weather will arrive after you get home.
ReplyDeleteI was careful coming home Bonnie but like Dick Dastardly went I drove over there!
DeleteGood photo. It looks like you could be sealed in Clint as a refrigerator.
ReplyDeleteThat photo was a Deliberate exaggeration Mr Red!
DeleteI know what I would be doing...and that is staying at home, not out driving on roads during dangerous weather...but that's just me. Areas here in Queensland are suffering extreme weather conditions at present...I know for certain I wouldn't be out driving in it.
ReplyDeleteNothing, not even a game of football, particularly a game of football, is worth putting my life and that of others in danger. Watch the game via TV!
You are a very sensible lady Lee!
