Thing is, they did grit but the snow that came down melted a bit during the day yesterday and with it took a fair bit of the salt away with it, the problem is that the gritters didn't go out all day yesterday like they should have, they did it once and thought it would be enough, in reality to make things easier they should have been out all day up and down motorways and main roads. There is some answering to be done by councils here as to why they weren't out on continuous loops
365 people reading this forum, that's a lot, and a lot of them don't even post, they just laugh at our wit and jokes and are amazed by the way so many people can be excited by a few cms of snow. This is England '13
Is that true? If that is right and you're not talking kentimetres then I am struggling for work tomorrow as I work up at the top of wrotham hill near London golf club, and I've got a merc
Folkestone is the place to be it seems, that'll get 10cm plus I think, I'm thinking ill wake up to 3 or4cm max.............of snow ...........before you all start with the jokes. Thing is, under all the snow now is a sheet of ice which is going to catch many out tomorrow when walking and driving. Be careful peeps
Back of the net eh froze! I read your posts in an Alan partridge voice in my mind, makes it funnier! Don't think AP would be saying "it's hotter than the sun" if he were out tonight that is for sure!
People abandoning cars all over the place, it's only a cm or two still but it's really coming down and people panicking at rush hour to get home, the snow earlier has melted and frozen over so a layer of ice under fresh snow now in many places, hills and even small inclines are a major problem to the already slow and barely moving traffic, the gritting that should have been done has mostly washed away and no fresh grit seems to have gone down, clever!
Now it's getting interesting, looks like its set in now for a while, this is the edge of the low frontal coming now, very small flakes but billions of them, road white, everywhere white, accumulating starts!
