A new kind of muck

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

So I thought that at least one day this week would bring decent driving conditions but no chance… Monday was a combination of water and ice particles, Tuesday brought frozen cow muck in the farmyard (a new type for me), yesterday was fluffy snow and today was back to the plain old mendips sludge.  I think I can conclude that Somerset has mostly poor road conditions ;-) 

Drizzle and Mist

Daily mendip weather update: Lots of drizzle and plenty of mist.  Back in the fast car so enjoyed the drive even though the roads were soggy.

Mendips Fog

Monday, December 22nd, 2008

After a year of my daily cross-mendips commute I thought I’d start recording the ‘lovely’ Somerset weather I enjoy on the way to work.  It’s always a bit of a challenge so by noting it down I thought I’d get some perspective into just how much of a challenge. 

Today’s pre-Chrimbo weather consisted of slightly damp roads and plenty of fog.  Driving up through the Combe was different today as the 350Z was in for a service so I got to drive a Nissan Note.  It was less driving and more a process of charting a course in the good ship Note.  Performance was none-to-speak-of and cornering a bit like a football.
