OT- I need your help with this snow!!!

The Sock Chicken, 13 January, 2010 at 11:07 Posted on Planning 0 22

Naughty me hitching at work, but it is doing my head in not being able to get hold of anyone on the phone today. So could you please kindly post below where in the world you are, if you have snow, and if it is so bad there are road problems and schools closed etc.

Thankyou so much

For the record, we have non here in Ely Cambridgeshire, despite BBC saying we were getting it for most of the day!

    I am in West Sussex in the South East, all the snow from last week hasnt gone yet and it started snowing last night and is still going strong, we have had probably another 3-5 inches on top of the foot that was already there.

    Roads - Very very bad - lots of closures - and most roads havent been gritted

    Trains - not running at the moment

    Schools - closed!

    I'm in Swindon it snowed again here overnight and I think there are some road problems and restricted bus services. There are also quite a few school closures here which might be affecting parents getting to work.

    I'm in St Albans and it hasn't stopped snowing/sleeting all morning. Had another inch settle last night and the roads are really icy - hence why i'm working from home! Couldn't get the car up the hill!

    Black ice in West Yorkshire causing problems on minor roads and car parks that haven't been gritted. Buses not running on our road due to black ice. Saw 3 cars do complete spin around this morning!

    I think Wales and Devon is badly hit according to the news.

    Right then

    Cheltenham

    Has had snow

    bus on limited restricted rotues and at & this morning all trains in and out of cheltenham were fine (I bwelive some schools are closed and some are open)

    Birmingham

    Well my train arrived on time and the departure board suggests trains are overall runing on time or with slight delays)

    Driving in Birmingham is taking forever tythough took my boss and hour and 45 min to drive a mile and a half forst thing this morning. Most schools seem to be closed and i would say there were far fewer commters about than normal so guess lots of people delayed or just stayed at home

    This is next to where I work, it was pretty bad apparently,but I haven't been today so not seen it https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/local-west-yorkshire-news/2010/01/13/weds-am-taxi-falls-30-feet-onto-factory-after-huddersfield-ice-road-slip-86081-25589496/ also no post and UPS cancelled deliveries. I was in the post office yesterday and there were parcels piled up that the post man had dumped because he could get to people's houses so they won't have any cards through the door and know where they are!

    Hey Zips

    Well in the South East/Kent (Sidcup and then Canary Wharf to be precise ?) we had a fair bit settle overnight which was pretty unexpected, and like Moya said we still had loads left over from last week, so it's just renewed that really! Has been snowing all morning too up until about 11ish when it turned to fine sleet.

    Am hoping I can get home!

    I'm in Northampton at the moment, we had snow overnight and this morning and it's still slightly snowing. Roads are shocking! Buses (well the uni ones anyway) we're non existent this morning so had to walk to uni. We arrived 50 mins late freezing!
