Made the super wise decision to go/drive into Belfast last night to see a movie at the cinema when the snow fall was well under way.
On the way down the motorway into Belfast it was literally, 20mph, no faster and you could have counted more than ten cars (easily) that had been wrote off at the other side coming out of Belfast. Obviously a lot of them had tried to speed through it, no doubt.
Anyway, we get to the cinema and literally, we were one of probably ten cars (max) in the carpark. Made our way into the building and again, bar the staff, it seems like we were the only ones there.
After the movie, we come out and there's tons of people going into clubs etc.
Drive home was pretty humbling in terms of realising just how untrained I am at driving in the snow. At least two or three junctions on a hill I literally sat there for AGES trying to get moving.
Eventually left the people off I had been with and then tried to get home myself. Managed not to wreck the car or anything but couldn't actually manage to get it up my hill (which I live on.) And so it had to be parked down the road from house for the night.
Mental note to self: don't try and drive in heavy snow.
