2014/2015 Snow & Winter Weather MegaThread

[Ms Macbeth 74]

Yes, that's my concern. Schools are under pressure to stay open, but it's not safe for children to be walking to school when cars are skidding all over the place.

 

I bet there will plenty of little ones in nurseries. I know my three year old granddaughter has made it to hers this morning. My daughter took her on the 52 from Hillsborough to Brookhill then they walked it to the RHH. Just another nurse getting to work.

I thought I'd heard on SKYnews this morning that the whole of the country is on Amber now.

Good on her. Those that are doing all possible to maintain essential services deserve praise.

Just heard thunder in S8! Traffic hardly moving on Bocking Lane, 3 buses stuck at bottom, going nowhere. Avoid!

Yes good stuff.

 

It amazes me how many young people seem to have lost the ability to walk these days.

Anyone intending to try and drive up Jenkin Road shouldn't bother. There's a large Eddie Stobart truck stuck on the corner by the Nisa shop.

Thunder?

I thought it was snow dropping off the roof to the road

Coming down thick again

 

Doesn't look good on the traffic cameras at the moment

i think if a daily newspaper said it was going to snow gold coins tomorrow, there would be some people that would declare that they had seen it and that they have found some.

[Looker 10]

Just been along Penistone road and Herries road. cars, vans getting stuck. No doubt gritter will be out as soon as its eased a little. We went out to feed horse at 7.45 and wondered what all the fuss was about then it came down and it turned out a nightmare.
