aelfheah Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Got congested on the A1 so took a diversion on the A66 West, which was dodgy and as yet no radio traffic reports. It was blocked by Police at Brough, so we turned around and tried to reach Darlington via the back roads and A167 to get back to the A1- very risky (and each road shut!). Finally, we reached the A1 and - as it was clear up North we reached Edinburgh. On the return journey (A1 all the way south) it was q.clear until we got to the M1 at leeds! I'm glad I didn't stay over until today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medusa Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 My sister lives on the moors between Halifax and Bradford and they've got snow deep enough to completely hide the furniture in the garden today. In places it's almost as deep as my 6 year old nephew. Not surprising to say that nobody is able to get their car out there today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aelfheah Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 To start threads on the forum No, stupid, to share stories about people either blocked in, or those who have to continue working? I expected idiots to post also, though. My sister lives on the moors between Halifax and Bradford and they've got snow deep enough to completely hide the furniture in the garden today.

Yes it was /is really bad out there, we almost got caught out by the weather ourselves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obelix Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Why do people travel in these conditions? Because if you know what you are doing it's not problematic. How do you think places in the Alps cope with winter? They just get on with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expected idiots to post also, though. Ordinarily listening to people talk about going to work isn't that interesting but I suppose it's credible that with snow on the ground it might become so, let's see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
