Re: Snow !
I'm going to Leeds tomorrow - customer just off the M1 / J46...I'm 200 miles away down south...
What's the weather / roads like up there now?
I see that Church Fenton (12 miles away) have reported 6 inches of snow up there!

Re: Snow !
They knew the snow was coming yet most roads were not gritted/salted which was terrible getting home last night.

Re: Snow !
Wonder if I'll see the same as I did last year. Workmen at Lewisham Station on the tracks pouring water on the points in sub zero temperatures.

Re: Snow !
The neighbours where out this morning clearing all paths and a route up the hill but put the snow in front of some cars including mine so I spent an hour clearing my car of snow 6", and a bit in front so I can get my car out and reverse up the hill.
Better now than 7am tomorrow morning.

It's because most people don't have a clue how to drive in the snow. So they wheel spin, and turn it to ice. Then the roads turn into a death trap.
This morning was ok, because there was very little traffic on the road. So the snow had time to melt rather than being packed down hard.
I gave myself an hour and a half to get to work this morning, but it only took half an hour, including a stop at the garage.

Just spoke to my brother in Halifax, and he said there is only about 2 or 3 inches up there.
