Is it going to snow? 2012 - 2013 snow thread

[ryder8904 10]

I saw a gritting lorry yesterday, but it was not actually gritting.

Travel SY website claims roads have not been gritted and no gritters have been seen- surely this isn't true?

 

I saw a few grit trucks out this morning but they were plowing rather than gritting.

because few people are lucky enough to have a winter car sat in the garage?

 

except you were just trying to be funny, failed

 

Who said anything about having another car? Nothing wrong with have a RWD car, whats wrong is trying to use them in 4-6 inches of snow...

 

Do they have legs? Can they walk to a main road and get a bus? Common sense says that that is a better solution that likely damaging your car.

Mercury taxis have said they only have 15 cars available across the city so I wouldn't plan on going too far today!

Gritters have ploughed the roads in Mosborough . They are still dicey until more cars grind the grit in .

burngreave road is mainly slush now and buses running up and down but the side roads are around 4 inches deep and its still coming down

Why the obsession with clearing it away?

 

We have well over a foot here and at the moment it looks lovely - but wont be long until the snow shovellers get out and start make huge piles every where - which then take longer to melt.

 

Yes get the main roads sorted - so that people can get to hospitals, undertake essential tasks (which doesn't mean get to meadow hell) but leave the rest alone.
