No snow in Chester, but I still managed to get stuck!
On Sunday night I was in the car with my Dad, taking my sister to Beverley in Yorkshire. We were travelling from Sale in Cheshire, and there had been some snow there earlier in the day, but nothing that settled.
Getting to Yorkshire was a completely different kettle of fish!
In my 21 years (nearly!) I don't think I've ever seen snow so bad. Beverley is sort of in the middle of nowhere, well to the like of me who only knows towns! So we turned off the motorway and hit country roads.
Already along the way we had experienced very heavy fog, and very heavy snowfall coming at the windscreen, so this was the icing on the cake.
We got STUCK!
Quite a few cars also did, but we had the sense to at least attempt a 3 point turn and head for main roads. I saw "we", I can take no credit!
It was so thick on the ground that the wheels on the car were spinning, and braking proved to be difficult. One car had already given up on going further and had pulled over, probably for the night.
So that was that excitement. We had to go through Hull and use main roads.
Such a shame that it was too dark to take pictures with my phone :(
