If the weather was like this it'd deserve a name, nothing but a bit of wind in actuality.

West Midlands - They are tougher over that way.

I hope she didn't suffer, poor woman.

Took me worse part of 8 hours to get from london to birmingham. All railways affected so in their wisdom they close most of the m40 off to stick a few cones out. Chaos.

Just got in. Preston was a nightmare. 4 platforms closed out of six. Hell of a day.

Liverpool was quite bad today. Glad to get home half way up Pendle for some clement weather

That wisdom spread to the M1 at Nottingham. 3 out of 4 lanes of the "Smart" section between J26 and J25 South were closed for "traffic management." The "smart" motorway ends at J25 South. Absolutely pointless as it went back to 4 lanes instantly. Organised chaos.

These smart motorways are my biggest pet hate. A whole new thread on its own though.
