Gulp - Weather moan!

A year or two ago there was a program about that farm. Apparently when building the M62 they wanted to clear it. But the stubborn old coot living there at the time wouldn't move out, and for some reason they couldn't legally shift them.

There is a similar one on the M6 in the Lakes, the farmer was on Look North appealing for a bride a few months back !

No severe weather on my bit of the M62 but we had a 2 hour power cut last night. I remembered I was supposed to buy some candles and a torch a few months back but never quite got round to it.

OK, own up, who is Wilmslow?

He's not me...I mean I'm not him....oh, whatever

Yes, this morning for me.

Blizzards on the M62, signes covered in snow.

A car got blown off the motorway into the Little House on the Prairie field (between the carriageways). I called it in, the police said would you believe the driver just called him, so at least he is still alive!

Extreme winds on the tops there, just hoping that the predicted snow from Scotland mid-afternoon does not come for my commute home. Bad enough driving in snow blizzard, without any sticking!

I'm in Edinburgh and it IS snowing...but only in little bursts and it's not staying. It is very cold though and the winds are quite strong.

IIRC they couldn't build the motorway through the farm due to the relief of the land. So they were always going to leave the farm alone.

Despite severe weather warnings for Scotland and snow / blizzards expected overnight it's fine here in the West. No sign of any snow and the wind is dying down a bit too.

John Shuttleworth does a great song about that farm

"I feel like the man the lives,
on that farm that sits,
in the middle of the M62.

I thought it would be alright,
now I can't sleep at night,
some things you cannot undo.

Not according to look north west a few months back. They said that due to the shape of the land that the plan was always to go around the farm.

It's cold and windy in the North-East. It's been windy all week, gales and so on. It's been snowing since mid-morning here with no sign of letting up. Very glad I work from home, if I was at work I'd be dreading the train being delayed and the roads full of hopeless cases. If I wanted to, I could even crack open some warming whisky while I work... it is Friday after all.
