Here's a photo of my other vehicle (I'm not kidding) taken this time last year here in sunny Grange over Sands.

Should be perfect for Dent

would be handy for towing non Bongo vehicles in the snow

Looks like we are going to have to invest in some Passion Killers ( pyjamas ) and a Hot water bottle if it's going to be sooooo cold.

Might be worth filling the holes in the string vests!!

Don't forget the bed socks and Long Johns

There is some SERIOUS weather out there.
I'm down at sea level and we've had about an inch of sticking snow in just over an hour. Can hardly see across the road.

Even if the snow stops please don't think of going to Dent other than via Sedbergh. Other roads get iced easily and take ages to clear.

...and I'm afraid my 'other vehicle' (see earlier post) wont be available...we're on standby to assist our local ambulances.

Both the Met office and Metcheck are predicting milder weather towards the end of the week - so that probably means rain...
