Snow in Edgworth
Friday 27th Betty June and I had a great day out at Boundary Mills Factory Outlet in Colne.
Came away with a jacket and four sweaters, all brilliant bargains. I either go home without a thing or I could spend a small fortune, this was one of those days, but I have to conserve something for my holiday in May. Sunday Ist March “White Rabbits” its suppose to bring you luck if you say WR on rising . I must admit it was almost 10am before I remembered but said it anyway as it must be daybreak somewhere in world .. The speaking Contest was very successful we had six applicants and a they all gave a very varied account on “Fashion “ Wednesday another Birthday lunch this time it was for Irene. We went to a Cypriot owned Pub The Rose and Crown in Edgworth. Just as interest this pub was recently hit by a truck and has been refurbished. Our Stuart used to help serve behind the bar in his youth. Excellent food and service, very different I will be going back soon to try another of his dishes . During our meal there was a heavy fall of snow, we where way up in the hills but on returning home the snow was very light and almost gone.. The weather man says we will have this cold snap for a few weeks and more snow to come. Sadly there was a six car traffic accident in the area due to the snow and the motorway was closed. Because we have had this prolonged cold weather with heavy falls of snow, most councils are complaining they haven`t enough grit for the roads and are having to import grit/salt from Europe. Plus potholes and damage to the roads as a result of this cold weather, are deadly. It pays to drive on the major roads they at least are monitored and some repairs carried out.

Freak snowstorm sparks Bolton road chaos
2:53pm Wednesday 4th March 2009
A SUDDEN snow storm sparked motorway chaos as emergency crews were called to four separate crashes. The M61 northbound was closed - causing five-mile tailbacks - as paramedics treated casualties and police cleared the carriageway of debris. Five people were taken to hospital after being carried from their cars on spinal boards. A number of others were injured in the smashes, which happened almost simultaneously at 2.30pm. The accidents are causing widespread chaos on arterial routes in and around junction six, Horwich, of the M61. Inspector Phil Cottam, from Lancashire Police, said: "When I first came to the scene it was snowing quite heavily, but only a short distance along the motorway it was bright sunshine.
"What I would say to people is to take extra care because conditions are changing minute by minute."
