rawsonator   10 #1273 Posted January 28, 2015 I have to say I've got a pretty accurate app on my phone, plus a website I use but Twirlers updates really confirm and bring them to life. Another thanks from me - being of limited mobility at present and on phased return back to work it's really helpful for me planning when I can get in and when might not be a good idea (I'm not allowed out in snow/ice at the mo)    I like the detail he gives, my app just has a picture of a snowflake lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

TheTwirler   10 #1275 Posted January 28, 2015 I have to say I've got a pretty accurate app on my phone, plus a website I use but Twirlers updates really confirm and bring them to life. Another thanks from me - being of limited mobility at present and on phased return back to work it's really helpful for me planning when I can get in and when might not be a good idea (I'm not allowed out in snow/ice at the mo)  Been there after 8 operations on my back I spent a few years where I was confined to the house in cases of ice and snow. That is when this started really, as I knew I wouldn't be in work I tended to stay up tracking the weather and watching the radars.  I'm fine now and will be expected to walk in tomorrow, although a part of me feels that it could well be bad enough to warrant not attempting even that.  Get well soon!

L00b   441 #1284 Posted January 28, 2015 We've had a bit of snow in S21 (and a bit more in Chesterfield) but nothimg has settled. Yet. I think the worst will come in morning.White over in Worksop now, literally in the blink of an eye  I looked out not an hour ago and there was nowt, just wet, windy and miserable...and just looked now and it's covering, with a full base already down, close to what the linked photo of small_hall shows in Sheffield north.  If this freezes and it starts big-flaking it later on, tomorrow's commute is going to be something epic, for sure.
