Sneakerfreak Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Just had a tweet about a car crash at Bents Green due to the icy road. Just been out to grit outside my house as it was very slippy (with my own grit thanks to removal of the one on our road!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTwirler Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 If anyone wants to look for themselves you can use either: http://www.ukweatherforecast.co.uk/weather-radar/ http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/observation/map/gcqzy90v8#?map=Rainfall&fcTime=1422431100&zoom=8&lon=-1.47&lat=53.40 According to those radars, the West and North of Sheffield should be getting brief blizzard conditions any minute, and there's plenty where it came from behind it..

TheTwirler Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I'm sure everyone on here appreciates your weather reports just like to say thank you for taking the trouble to keep us updated. It's absolutely my pleasure. If it helps one person make a decision about a journey that makes them safer then it is completely worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUFFEMS Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 At about 6:00 p.m. in Bents Green it suddenly froze the snow which had started to thaw resulting in solid ice everywhere and a biting wind. By 8:00 p.m. there was about 1" snow on top of it so it will be treacherous for travelling. Take care to anyone having to go out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rawsonator Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 It's absolutely my pleasure. If it helps one person make a decision about a journey that makes them safer then it is completely worth it And I did just that and decided not to travel to Peterborough tonight which by the looks of things to come was a good call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryjane Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Elderly and/or infirm people shouldn't have to go out when the weather is bad like that. My neighbour falls into the vulnerable category and I make sure I go round whenever the power is out and give him candles, or grit his front and back paths in ice and snow and have been known to do his shopping for him too. It's a pity that not everyone manages to do that for their neighbours, really. ---------- Post added 28-01-2015 at 20:04 ---------- **UPDATE** The winds have indeed started to blow slightly more Southerly and so we will be getting the snow that is currently in the Irish Sea, north of Lancashire (if it stays that way). Not only is there more of it, but it's twice as heavy currently. If it stays that way even only for the next hour or two then we'll certainly see the difference and people at the semi-final might encounter difficulty getting home. I'll be on here most of the night I imagine, I'll keep you all updated! thank you love your updates, white out here in s8, do you know if the woodhead pass is open.
