We lost a day to the storms in Southern England. We drove to Ashford to look in a shop and never reached our destination. Flood waters blocked the road between Canterbury and Ashford.The route back was then closed off to deal with twigs on the motorway. The detour through Sittingbourne shaved three hours from our existence.
The extremes in weather we have experienced do not seem that inclement to this Irishman. We regularly encounter high winds and rain in N Ireland. The province does not come to a standstill and we seem to manage without fuss.To hear the lowing cattle of the media community you would be under the misapprehension England had been devastated by a tsunami . To this observer it has not.
Ice and snow has been forecast . The preparedness for same will be the usual standard . I anticipate hours spent in stationary traffic.
