I couldn't get to a work meeting today due to transport chaos, but instead spent a very pleasant hour in the Blue Ball at Wharncliffe Side (with Mr Godzilla) enjoying their 2 meals for £5 deal. Every few minutes an empty wagon went past in the direction of Deepcar, only to return in the direction of Oughtibridge laden with grit and salt from the dumpit site at Deepcar. Good work those drivers - they too have to get to work somehow!

They were doing a great job this morning on the A616, but there were too many lorries and other traffic stopping them getting through. Guess that's why it ended up closing.

Can't be much grit left up there now!

Up to now the gritters have done a great job, but I have just travelled back from Keighley, gritters everywhere in West Yorkshire, all roads are being kept clear. Once I pulled off the M1 the problems started, it has taken me twice as long to get from Birdwell to Broomhill (9 miles) than it did from Keighley to Birdwell (53 miles), and I have not seen one single gritter in the Sheffield area. The journey from Keighly through Bradford is just as hilly as Sheffield.
