This winter has been a funny one this year, from blanket coverage for most parts of the country and lingering around into the second week especially on minor rounds to milder weather and then this week we are treated to a heavy swift attack of the white stuff to most parts of Kent. Here in the midlands we have got off lightly so far this month with no serious snow falls a few flurry's but nothing that settled.
A urgent trip to Heathrow the other day with urgent documents needed in the Netherlands caught the rider out with a mini blizzard around the section where the M40 meets the M25, luckily he managed to get into and out before any chance of the snow affecting the road conditions.
It's this time of year, its really difficult to know just how many layers of specialised clothing designed to keep a biker warm to put on, the day can changed so much. Take today, a frostly early start hovering around freezing temperatures and then the sun popped out, with blue skies the temperature quickly rose to a nice mild March day that just required a couple of layers under a Goretex bike jacket to maintain comfortable levels.
Roll on spring only 6 more days til it officially starts!
