COVENTRY MESSAGE BOARD

Nice pics Dutchy. Here's a picture from my neck of the woods - taken at the Battle of Britain memorial in Capel near Folkestone at the weekend.

Interesting Polly The battle was fought during the summer so the fur coat was originally to protect the pilot from frostbite at high altitude.

Thanks for that Dutchy - I didn't know that.

It's been snowing non-stop for the last 12 hrs. and we're virtually at a standstill now. It was bad before, but with another 12 inches on top of what we already had is making life very difficult as you can imagine. The dreaded operation stack is back on

Does that mean another long wait Polly?

It means the M20 coastbound is a huge lorry park Dutchy - they closed it some time last night - the police have advised lorry drivers NOT to come to Kent unless it's absolutely necessary

Oh, I thought you meant hospital operations had been cancelled Polly!

Happy to report the snow is all gone, operation stack is no longer and things are back to normal - for now

Hope Coventry is all back to normal

A band of rain cleared all the snow away Polly but there's freezing fog at night and a severe frost during the day.

Can safely say Winter has arrived then
