Armageddon - Almost

Snow and Cornwall don’t go well together!

11:30pm Mrs S arrives outside the house from work, receives a call and heads off without switching off on a run to the hospital to drop a friend to the maternity unit.
Arrives back home in time for her sandwich and bed.
1:45 the phone rings, just a scare can they be picked up and brought home so I set off. In Falmouth it was raining heavily with water bubbling up from the drains, areas of road were flooded, not pleasant driving.
As I left Falmouth the rain gradually turned to sleet, bit further on I noticed patches of white and by the time I got to Truro it was an inch or so deep and still snowing. The gritters were out but not much else. Picked up at the hospital and headed home and after dropping off arrived back in bed around 3:00am.
Woke knowing that if the snow had l laid it would be a difficult day and so it proved. Schools closed or late opening, school run 4x4’s laid up on driveways not able to cope with the conditions yet the weather was surprisingly good, cold but little sign of any snow or ice around Falmouth other than that on vehicles.
Some admin for the gig club and a fifty minute telephone call from the RNA Central Office regarding the up and coming National Armed Forces Day. Couldn’t help much as I, along with virtually every other interested party in Cornwall, am waiting to hear something, anything.
