Anyone else get caught last night?

Five and a half hours on the M20 in near blizzard - got home on the back of a truck but I was a relatively lucky one 'cos I passed four or five other bikes and riders who are probably still there - nothing I could do to help though.

Unbelievable lack of police, snow ploughs, gritters, etc particularly given that the problem stretch was probably less than a mile long only towards the top of the hill.

Snow in the UK must have been the storm that blew through here a few day's ago that burried us here with two feet of heavy, wet, snow,,,a normal 1/2 hour commute turned into a three hour nightmare,,,thank god for 4WD,,,,my machine would hardley move it,,,,been melting very fast however,,today here it's in the mid to high 50's with heavy rain predicted,,,,spring is comming your way,,,,

Man, thats a good effort

saw a fat guy fall off a scooter yesterday doing 5mph with a little snow/sleet on the ground he rolled around like a beached whale, he was fine though, no chance I would be out in weather like that on a bike.

I don't even like riding in the rain!
Reason1, Bike gets dirty and takes ages to clean..
Reason2, Cant see oil slick on wet road..
