Nice to meet you all - all 4 of you anyway. A very pleasant day out. Pity about the crash on the way home in the 'blizzard', nope not me. Phew.

Good meeting you, too, Dave!  What blizzard?  Are you referring to heavy rain or are we getting volcanic ash here?!:lol:

As I left the supermarket on Kharys Road it started to rain and the wind was getting worse lifting dust, sand and litter. As I travelled towards Salwa there were times when visibility was down to less than 50m. Some cars had no lights apart from their hazards. Traffic was down to a crawl for a couple of K because a car and truck had collided, unfortunately on a 2 lane flyover. Made it without a scratch.
Not so much ash as sand and rain. What joy. LOL

Thursday evening was quite a night with satellite dishes flying off roofs and dust storms obliterating visibility on most highways in the city.

They probably stopped Salman at the gate. He needs to see his barber first.

WOW!  That was quite a storm too!  We hit all of the wind & sand on the North Ring Rd and  were lucky to get home when we did.   I did have to pick my patio umbrella out of the pool and our satellite dishes disconnected (but didn't fly off), but nothing else was a miss.   Thankfully!

Alliecat

Whoa!  Seems I got home just in time and missed all the action! 

Thanks for the ride, CAF :)

I missed the action too, I couldn't see a f'g thing as I was driving home. LOL. (fudging)
