Grim up North today.

[TF_JohnH]

I know there is a lot of bad weather around just now but South Yorkshire this morning is very bad.
I cannot see much in the way of fishing happening for a while as the forecast is just for more of the same.
North and East of us is worse but I have lived here all my life and cannot recall anything as bad as this. On average we have a foot of snow already and its still snowing, roads are hard to locate as they are just a white blanket of snow. Not many have ventured out so nothing is clearing.
Worst of all is its also freezing ice under the snow.

The North West whilst very cold is okay re snow

[TF_Jabjab]

Newark in Notts 11 inches deep and still snowing. Forecast is cold and snow until Friday then highs of 1 degree Saturday and heavy rain and 4 degrees on Sunday – I see flooding ahead! ~hand

My boss lives in Sheffield and he says he has 14″ of snow around his car. When he parked up yesterday he said the road had been cleared!

Snowing hard in Wakefield. However I got from Huddersfield to here in around an hour this morning which is the norm. Not looking forward to going home though. Roads will be pretty bad with muppets who struggle to drive in snow.

Daughter abandened the car in kent yesterday which means I will have to ferry her back when it all clears up a bit, luckily she got a lift from a colleague 4 hours later she arrived home, the driver had to get out and push a couple of cars which got stuck directly in front of him, meanwhile at Enfield hardly anything than a small sprinkle which has now gone

[TF_Decaff]

Nothing here in Clavering either,bloody cold & windy though !

Suppose we’ll get it at some point though.
Xmas day would suit fine.Keep the mother-in-law away.lol

[TF_JMCLincoln]

Lincoln is closed lol, no buses, no school, no post, no taxis ? Even the council offices have shut.

[TF_pr@ngler]

Sheffield still very quiet. Kids off school and quite a few no shows at work. All lectures cancelled.

Council have been fantastic all week clearing roads and pavements round the hospital

[TF_leemurph]

Now snowing bad in preston. Just heard off my captain that this saturdays match on cudmore is ON i cannot believe it. I mean i’m all up for fishing but just getting there will be a nightmare and dangerous. Just trying to get on2 the site is very dangerous, i hope they see sense and cancel, cos it’s not worth ending up in a ditch and wrecking you’re car.

[TF_NW Cut Angler]

Hardly any snow in Wigan Murph and I worked in Sandbach for a few years and it was always warmer in that part of Cheshire than Wigan, Chorley, Preston. You may be ok?

[TF_Gary]

Hardly a trace of snow here in the City…

Someone texted Talksport today,they said the police are now issuing fixed pen £60+3 points for motorists who fail to clear snow off the vehicle roofs before driving off,this has to be a wind up surely~think ~naughty ~hand

[TF_Dodge]

Loads of snow in North and East Manchester where i work today ….. not so much in South Manchester where i live ~think

[Anonymous]

Sheffield based

Next door neighbour went jogging last night when it was at its worst, then we had another 8-10 inches of snow in the night, no papers, milk or bread in local Co-op or much of owt else.
Cant see the main road for packed snow.

But….
But….

My next door has put his refuge wheely bin out and his paper wheely bin!

LOL

Just had the same texted from a mate Jeff, can’t decide if they are pulling my chain. . . . . . . . or. . . . . . its legit ? ~think ~think ~think

We have had almost no snow in Liverpool but its cold. Bit of snow on the side roads and pavements but all the main roads are totally clear of snow. Not even sure they have had to put rock salt on the main roads so fare this winter. Traffic seems to be clearing any snow very quickly in the mornings. I normally see the salt being spread on the roads but not this year so fare. Guess we are very lucky to not have a foot or more of snow like many others around the country.

[TF_feeder]

we have copped about 6 to 8 inches in essex.so no schools good old grandad got the kid all day.lol

[TF_markco]

Just a bit of snow in Warrington, tried early today and tried a couple of times during the day most roads are clear just every stillwater frozen.

A motorist got stopped in fife for having snow on his roof, £60 fine 3 points,the police say if your car is hot,and you break sharp the snow can slide of your roof block your windowscreen, and your vision,

No snow down here yet but its bloody cold it was -2 on the bank today.

[TF_MARKHLDAS]

Here at Jnctn 6 of the M25 I’ve had 11″ and my road is blocked, so I walk the 4 miles to work. Could get the bus but they are rammed.

Feel sorry for those guys in Yorkshire, I had to join a disaster call today to decide what to do with staff in that region. In sounded pretty bad.

[TF_caster robParticipant]

Makes me laugh when the AGW fanatics claim it’s nothing to do with climate-change, just weather.

Three cool summers (suits me fine, long may they continue) and three cold winters in a row.

Panic – rebrand Global-Warming as all-encompassing Climate-Change, much easier to bluff, and tax.

Even the NH weather mocks them, whenever they hold a gathering to try and frighten us, Copenhagen, Cancun, we’re deluged with snow.

Win win.

[TF_rowdy]

nobody got of our road since monday,must be 2 foot all the way up it,local farmer offered to plough all the roads in the village but rotherham council told him he couldnt do it,bet where the councillers live its been cleared.no sign of the weather getting any better.village kiveton park

[tunnel topper]

sorry to hear the old place is snowed under. what road are you on rowdy?
now live just off road linking sheff. city centre to hospital and even gritters have not been past here.
bread and milk getting scarce! anyone getting to shops that are still open try stocking up with bread-part bake, bake yourself mixes, anything.
some shops limiting one loaf, 1 bottle of milk per customer.

good luck everyone and keep warm>

[TF_rowdy]

live on rookery close just down from conyers,no milk in village here too

[TF_JohnH]

Local media is reporting worst snow in Sheffield since 1919. The lucky ones on low ground have about a foot. On high ground its double that at least. Some main roads now not too bad but side roads impossible.
Little prospect of any improvement looking at forecast. Still snowing now but only in short bursts thankfully.
Tonight is forecast to be very cold, minus 6 to 10. Thankfully I have use of a 4×4, without it I would be house bound or on foot.
Fishing looks like being off limits for a while.

[TF_Gary]

Light dusting overnight here on Threadneedle Street. All clear by lunch time though.

[TF_GALPS]

Had 2-3ft here in Linacre woods, Chesterfield.

Not been able to get out with the car for 3 days.

No gritters, No Ploughs, no Buses.

Need to get back to work in Nottingham!

Not looking good.

[tunnel topper]

perverse, but just seen 5 arabs pushing a car with 2 in front with spades digging the compacted snow out of the way, trying to get the car onto the road. hope they didn’t see me laffing.
