When I flew to Montreal in January I was amazed at the snow there on the sides of the roads, it was like a concrete barrier. The taxi driver told me that they ploughed the roads after a big dump of snow in early January, it then froze hard down to -30c then it rained and now all the snow looks like glazed concrete as the rain froze to it instantly. I experienced my first ice storm as they called out there - all surfaces are at below zero temperatures and it drizzles or rains and everything is immediately coated in a thick coating of ice - heavy enough to bring down overhead power cables, I was also surprised at how many people didn’t seem to prepare their cars for the winter there, just on an evening stroll from the berth to the shops we saw loads of cars parked on the roadside total frozen up with no way to get into them as the frozen snow/ ice was so thick, but many people had sort of collapsible carport tent things that they drive their car over and pull the cover up and there is a small heater inside to keep the car from freezing up. Icing like that causes huge problems for ship and can lead to capsizing......... 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Well I had all 4 wheels on snow today for the first time...and had it sideways. I was on the car park at work so not so bad....You`re really conscious of the weight when it lets go! Steve. |
