busdriver1 #471 Posted March 18, 2018 Seriously people..driving on summer tires on this weather? Its more to do with the drivers than the tyres, they just help decent drivers. An idiot is an idiot no matter what tyres they are using. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
watchcoll #472 Posted March 18, 2018 M62 - Are highways england using some stock footage with current time or does this camera see into an alternate dimension> http://roadca.ms/1263 I've just driven over it from Bury & it's clear. I only hit snowy roads when I arrived in Sheffield onto Abbeyday rd & Woodseats Rd. It does seem a lot worse here than over the Pennines.

tinfoilhat #474 Posted March 18, 2018 We ended up the van last night without the winter tyres and we drove down from Teeside last night and we did ok - as did, I have to say, the highways agency, Didn't see any stranded vehicles until there was a queue of hgvs trying to get on the A57 from the A618 at Waleswood. It was a front drive van which helped. Wouldn't have fancied it in the sprinter. It was more or less virgin snow in t'marsh at 4.30 in the morning. I wonder if that helped rather than driving on compacted ice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Anna B #475 Posted March 18, 2018 I was walking around Graves park at 0600 hrs this morning with the dogs. It was absolutely beautiful, fresh virgin snow and it was very quite and eerie. The roads were a doddle as no one had been out to turn the snow to mush and navigated the hill on Gleadless Road twice with no problem whatsoever. Lovely. Thanks for reminding us that there is another, rather wonderful side to this weather that we can all appreciate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
