For a Nokia :open_mouth: I’m pretty impressed. I don’t get that sort of quality from my current 6300. :confused:

Believe it or not Rob they were taken on the new Nokia 6500!! Not a bad camera on it! Built in flash with it.

I was stuck on the A1 and M1 for 8 Hours last night on a journey that should only have taken half an hour!!

It was so sureal. Cars were just abandoned in the middle of the road and wagons parked up where ever they could manage. A few local farmers were there with tractors to tow the wagons as far as they could up the road. But many just pulled the curtains and stayed the night.

Its still bad in Belfast and Lisburn, but rural areas are clear now.

I thought those pics were taken in Belfast or at least NI. Where on the M1 and A1 were they taken then?

Aye didn’t half come down, followed by the ■■■■■■ rain today. Nice pics anyway mate.

I drove home at 3am this morning from Downpatrick to N’ards and I’ve never in 24 years driving been in worse conditions as I saw here in NI last night :exclamation: :open_mouth:
At one stage I thought I was going to get stuck on a perfectly level main Street in Comber town because the car was bulldozing the snow in front of it :exclamation: :blush:
Luckily my Seat Altea has traction control which helped out quite a bit. :sunglasses:

Heading south on the A19 on Thursday morning, there was a light dusting of snow. Still had the traffic down to 20mph in both lanes!!! :angry:

I had 2 tips in N.Ireland on Friday but didn’t get off the boat until 9.30, so missed most of the fun :slight_smile: :slight_smile:
I took these pictures about one o’clock on Friday afternoon heading out of Belfast towards Newtownards.

Newtownards Road


Stormont

Then it started sheeting it down with rain and everything turned into a slushy, flooded mess :frowning: :frowning:

Then the truck broke down… :cry: :cry: :cry:
