Agnieszka777 Â Â 10 #18 Posted February 21, 2010 i drove to East Midlands Airport at about 4.30. It was fun especially on the way back. Had to stop as I couldnt see lanes and total darkness didnt help at all. One lane was passable on M1 at this point. Drove 30-40 miles/h and still got loads of lorries overtaking me while the snow from their roofs was falling off on my windscreen.. anyway, thought it couldnt be any worse when I got to Parkway. sheffield roads at about 7.30-8 were properly covered with a snow, no salt, no gritting but I suppose noone could have predicted that much snow in ony a couple of hours... Â PS. My parents flight was due at 6.50... they've been sitting on a plane for last 2h hoping to departure... still nothing..

Lee2 Â Â 10 #20 Posted February 21, 2010 How can you tell? Isn't there any snow on your road? Â Because I've been out earlier this morning, on foot and the main roads haven't been touched. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

billo   10 #22 Posted February 21, 2010 A main rd like Elm lane and not a gritter in sight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
big_g   10 #23 Posted February 21, 2010 Unfortunately you need vehicles to drive over the grit-salt to get it to work. So, even on the best gritted road in Sheffield, if there are no cars driving over that grit, the snow will just lay on top of it.  G Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Taximark   10 #24 Posted February 21, 2010 I usually stick up for the gritters as i'm sure everyone can appreciate all the hard work they have done recently but last night where the hell were they? it was sub zero temperatures and i didnt see one gritter all night although i did finish at midnight.  Maybe the Council thought with it not been a weekday it wasn't as important?
