Just come out of the garage and the place has turned white. Silent rain. Roads are not salted. Regards Peter

You lucky devil! Where do you live Peter?

All gone already, sunny and cold here in sight of the Forth road bridge. Regards Peter

2 years ago, Christmas Day opened the curtains (hotel on peninsula NW Scotland...nearest town Fort william an hour away)...........and the silent rain was everywhere.........SWMBO thought it to be most romantic..........I of course was far too old and grumpy to think like that
mid morning we (I) decided to drive along the loch to the wildlife hide and watch the seals etc.........
what about the silent rain on the hotel's steep drive..........no problem to expert driver, just get a bit of momentum going..........er, no....not quite as simple as that....the slight kink in the drive at the bottom, and the low profile tyres, meant that i buried the car, totally, into a Rhodedendron bush, because it wouldn't turn at all.
Managed to get it back out with remarkably little damage and looked around sheepishly to see if anyone else had noticed......and yes they had. Stood in the warm in the hotel drawing room..was another hotel guest laughing his head off.
when I eventually traipsed back in there with my head down.......his booming West Country accent put me straight..
"don't worrrry about it ............lassst yearrrr i tipped my Laaand Roverrr on it's side trying to do thaat.
