Gaz79 Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Hi Have to go out tonight and just wondered if anyone has been on Lydgate Lane/Crookes. Is it clear/gritted? Cheers Good luck. I had to abandon the car in Crookes earlier. Went out this morning to do the shopping in clear weather and came back during the heavy snow. I managed half way up Springvale rd and decided to park on a flatish side street. I've been out earliler and it looks like no car had made it up the rd in the last couple of hours. I'd guess lydgate lane would be similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please, no more snow!!! know what you mean, I've got to get to manchester airport next week so my fingers are crossed for no more snow. Just to be safe i've bought some autosocks for the car which are supposed to be really good in these snow conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
