It’s snow joke

Stranded on the M1 in freezing temperatures isn’t much fun – but one person decided to entertain motorists by building a snowman to pass the time! The surreal moment was spotted at around 11am in the morning during the recent inclement weather.

An eye witness said of the crazy snowman scene:

“It was a passenger in a car. He got out and I thought ‘what is he doing?’

“He rolled a body then put a head on it and then put some stones in for the eyes and mouth. It shows you how long we were all stuck there.”

And another businessman demonstrated his entrepreneurial skills by selling groceries from his van to fellow marooned motorists on the Junction 10 sliproad at Luton.

The onlooker added: “Then I saw another man open up his van with all boxes of fruit and veg inside. He was shouting across to ask if anyone wanted anything.”

Needless to say, this is not considered best practice!

When taking a trip in winter is it good practice to check weather and road conditions before you make your journey, also ask yourself if the trip is really necessary. Remember to pack warm clothes and water.
