It was 30th Nov, it was snowing heavily through out the country. Woon was invited by Newcastle Uni to present a paper on 1 Dec. The Head of Dept of Newcastle Uni Bussiness School said to Woon that due the bad weather, he could understand if we could not make it to Newcastle. Of course, we made it eventually, if not, we would not have taken all these pictures.
Woon, our hero, think it was ok cos the weather forecast that the temperature in Newcastle is around -1. The high way should be ok inspite of snowy weather. So, we drove all the way to Newcastle, we supposed to arrive Newcastle at 9pm, but eventually, we almost stranded along M1 cos somewhere near Sheffield, the snowstorm was so strong and snow started piling up even on the highway. Some trucks were stuck along the high way, part of the road were closed and we have to detour, after brave through the storm for few hours, finally and fortunately, we arrived Newcastle Copthorne Hotel at 12 mid-night. It was quite a scary experience. Woon said that if he knew the condition is that bad, he would not in the first place to start the journey.
