It was a very different scenario indeed hence my question tonight have you ever been stuck somewhere I've ever been stranded somewhere I want to hear your stories of being stranded this Wednesday night I'll tell you more about what happened last night and actually a couple of weeks ago it's happened twice in the space of 3 weeks I have been stuck in snow on a British motorway for hours and hours and hours I'll tell you about both scenarios just after this one to write you. I'm. Going to. Go and. That's what was going through my head last night there was a boy. Somebody get me help us come rescue me last night actually not as bad as my 1st stuck in the snow experience a couple of weekends ago a couple days before Christmas when we had that 1st big dump of snow come through that day I had to travel on a Sunday morning from Barc share up to Birmingham and that was a nightmare journey Normally that would have been a couple of hours less than that even that particular morning took just under 6 hours at one point I was on the m 40 or more actually and I didn't move for about 2 hours 20 minutes yeah so that was my 1st stuck in the snow experience from a few weekends ago what happened last night no not quite as ers as not quite as bad actually it was bad but in a different sort of why I didn't get stuck in one spot for hours and I was and I was everything kept moving but goodness me was it was a difficult driving conditions to put it mildly Oh awful as I left the city center last night yes it was snowing like I was saying a while ago but not really settling too much I must say I made my way into the m 6 and it was it was Ok as highlight my way along the m 42 towards Birmingham airport it slowly got somewhere somewhere I mean what was falling out of sky and what was happening on the road in in front of me as it were the road conditions were rapidly deteriorating past the airport round the corner got onto the m 40 and I remember actually now and goodness me that heavens opened as it was the snow was coming down in dramatic fashion the wind picked up it was almost pretty much like icing on the telly in places like Canada or Russia or it was like a white tie. A blizzard passing through the area it really was awful driving conditions I could barely see the car in front of me we were plodding along in the fast lane at like 20 miles an hour the fast lane just about passable Langston's race reworks on the m 40 last night between 1 am and 3 am were embassador Oh absolutely horrible and because it was snowing so much it gave me a kind of headache him in the front of my head you know what I mean I had to concentrate so hard and I had the snowflakes big thick snowflakes coming why me after a little world was kind of service kind of almost put me in a trance for a stranger was strange but finally got home 3 hours 40 minutes I think after I left from from here and got on the one place not not so bad I didn't get like stranded as it was my journey was just dramatically extended What about you snow this time around last time around maybe from years gone by a snow event heavy rain flash floods and we get it all here in the u.k.
