Am stranded in Preston, was going home today but no way am i driving up in this weather especially having heard the village is virtually cut off and its not possible to get a car up the hill to my house.
Think we must have set a world record on fri night/sat morn..came back from holiday, left Manchester airport at 8pm and got into Preston 9 hours later at 5am. luckily i wasn't in the Juke, mate was driving and while i had a nap he managed to find his way to the other side of Chester ! we eventually got on the M6 around 10pm, the traffic was crawling due to heavy snow..around 11am we ground to a halt and didnt move at all for 5 hours. was kind of bizaare seeing folk walking dogs up the outside lane and generally abandoning cars and wandering up the Mway. the situation was made much worse by hundreds of idiots driving up the hard shoulder until that was totally blocked as well..making it impossible for the breakdown trucks and ambulance to get anywhere near the scene of the cause. was a long cold night to be sat in a car wearing a tee shirt and huddled under a beach towel!
