Saw for the first time where Iive a proper meteorological blizzard.I am at 40 metres a.s.l. to 60 metres in eccles the partial floodplane and home of those awfull cakes.Dry powdery snow with a near gale force wind for about 20 minutes happened ;I had to take cover as that weather was fricken BAD, BAD.I with my several layers and overcoat was not dressed for it never mind the IDIOT who I saw in shorts and T .shirt duck into a building for cover.Today I will always remember because I have wanted to see a 'none daliymail/express',ie ,actual ,blizzard at my low location.Thanks for indulging my passionate splurge and bad grammer.
