As you are probably aware much of England has been blanketed in heavy snow over the past few days (make that weeks for where I live) so I have not left the house in a while, therefore I have not had a chance to test out the Viper helmet I bought a couple of weeks back. It’s really starting to get on my nerves now though. I live in the Pennines, an area of moorland and hills, in fact the road I ride pretty often on my bike was featured on the latest episode of Top Gear (James May with the Vauxhall) if you watched it.
On average the temperature is three degrees (Celsius) colder where I live in the country than it is in the centre of Sheffield – my nearest city/town. Add that with the altitude difference and we get some pretty bad snowfall. Right outside my house the road is covered in about 4 inches and all over my back garden the snow is over 1 ft (12 inches), there are drifts that go well beyond this as well as I experienced yesterday.
I just thought that you might like to know what’s going on at the moment. I have some pictures (pretty poor quality to be honest) that I took the other day with my video camera. The snow is about twice as deep as it is on these pictures as I took these Tuesday morning at around 9 AM. I’ll try and get some better quality pictures tomorrow but we’ll see.
My poor baby under a blanket of snow. Still starts first time however!
Winter motorcycle boots work great in snow! Review coming soon!
As you can see, the council do an impeccable job of clearing the roads!
