Snow expected - fri/sat/sun 22/23/24 march 2013

Been snowing for about 28 hours,here in Derbyshire

The problem is not so much caused by falling snow,its the high winds causing drifting.I had to reverse a puddle jumper half a mile after encountering a drift at a gap in the trees.

Police checking vehicles for people trapped in buried vehicles.

Some drivers are waking up for work on Saturday morning,
looking out of the window, phoning work and going back
to bed.

to be fair last time the rds were clear the only problem was the odd drift and a tipper driver in a mad rush

MAYBE more snow to come next weekend (Easter).

It all depends WHERE some colder Skandinavian air will meet
some warmer Atlantic air.

Bradford ,leeds area,all drops complete and on time,no issues,roads fine,side roads,lanes icy in places,but easily do-able with care.
Over to the mon-fri drivers now,expect chaos on the roads by mon dinner time :exclamation: :exclamation: :exclamation: :laughing: :laughing:
