Its official with only 12 days left until the official start of Spring (March 12th for all those not in the know) its decided to become more wintery than ever. I didnt realise that seasons could make a last ditch cling to life as winter has, but its offical, its still here.... just.
However it has been a weird kind of day. We started off with about 2 oC on the meter, however as soon as the sun came out it was very pleasant and warm. In fact we laughed at the weather mans prediction of blizzards and ice as we strolled between lessons. Bearing in mind that for the last two months if you strolled you froze; today came as some what of a surprise.
So into the middle lessons of the day, and as all great British people do, we started to talk about the weather. Just as we began to sing its praise for delivering the goods, it clouded over, and started to snow, all within the space of 10 minutes.
Shows what we know about the weather.
So lunchtime came, and as I set about my usual slog to do some more work I met up with a good friend of mine. (See fellow student blog). Together we decided that as it was snowing it as good a time to drive the downhill route to go and actually get lunch from Tesco.
So we spent all of our hour break driving around, and testing his Rover Metro's breaks. Squeals of 'theres some unspoilt snow was common place as we emergency stopped our way around the neighbourhood. Interesting results followed, especially when one wheel was spinning faster than the other.
Please note my dear friend is a careful driver and we would never do such a maneuver infront of moving traffic. Not without me looking behind us anyway.
So all in all a good day, with one extra plus point. I scored one over my Dad. He refused to believe a price I quoted him for a product, and after phoning up to order I was proved right.... as usual. :)
