Snow puts in another appearance
9:49am Friday 10th February 2012 in News
Snow comes down in Pocklington yesterday
SNOW made its second appearance in the space of a week in North and East Yorkshire yesterday - but it was only expected to be a brief one.
Ryedale and the Pocklington area saw some of the heaviest flurries as temperatures plummeted across the region, with flakes also falling in York.
Last weekend saw North Yorkshire experience its first heavy snowfall of the winter, and outbreaks of rain and snow were forecast to continue overnight, although they were predicted to disappear by today.
However, motorists were being warned to beware of icy conditions on the roads, which led to a series of crashes in the western part of the region yesterday.
• Police closed Garrowby Hill at 6.30pm last night following a number of accidents.

The light on that push bike isn't very bright, and the rider seems to be covering his hi-viz with a rucksack. I do wish PP would take more care on Her Majesty's highway.

but some of the cycle lights are TOO bright.
there was a nincompoop behind me yesterday with a extremely bright flashing front light, when he went past me in traffic his light was brighter than my headlights.
that has to be illegal. whereas people complain that cars with xenon/hids fitted are too bright.
with the current weather conditions, you would think that H&S would say that it is impractical to cycle in the snow as well as being dangerous.
but as first are very quick to cancel busses in the snow, people have no choice.
