Starting to snow here. Fast and thick, but small flakes
Snowing in Ripponden and looking pretty claggy, kid's school open again, Mrs's school closed again.
4 inches overnight, still snowing but it doesn't feel very cold out. Snow was a bit damp when I dug the cars out this morning, better to make snowmen withQuote:

so why would they be closed???
B roads haven't been gritted or ploughed on the colne valley. Traffic to Hudds (5 miles) is backed up to Slawit. Three of my colleagues are gridlocked in Wakefield. I'm guessing that there are a few teachers, cops, bin men etc caught up in it. The 1 in 5 lane at the end of my road is an ice rink, 100 yards down to the A62.
Look at original post IDP. My school is in Exley / Siddal, and is at the top of a hill. Off the main road, Calderdale council have not gritted for over a week. The area is council / mainly low income area, my school is a 'challenge' school due to the low starting level of the pupils. A significant number are free school meals / special needs / from very low income homes. It irritates me that the council can be bothered to clear 'high achieving' schools but leaves ours to suffer. Last week 3 teachers ended up with cars facing wrong way after skidding due to the roads. I'm annoyed, I want to teach, I like my job!!!!!Quote:

Was snowing here in Ilkley at 6.00 am and has been since.
Small flakes, then a period of proper snow, back to small flakes now.
Been out to do a spot of food shopping and there is an underlying thaw here. It's very slushy out.
The beginning of the end for us up here as the Atlantic front makes its presence felt?
Snowing here in Lancs.
Time for another run.
Still coming down, but mainly slush.
Of course! :cool:Quote:

Bring on the sun! :D
Its now doing what is does best in Preston - Raining.:(
Its that really depressing sort of rain, probably not helped by that fact that seeing snow melt and go all dirty is equally as depressing.
The pavements and roads are still lethal though, but one thing i have noticed as the roads become clear again...the amount of tarmac that has crumbled away. Pot-holes everywhere.
The ice must have got into any cracks, did what water does when it freezes and expanded and boom...the road falls apart.
They never bloody gritted it once so i can put money on that they'll never come and flippin mend the road either.
Rant over.:rolleyes:
It started snowing on the 18 dec. we've never been free from it since, and it's dropped anther 4 or5 ins. today, and it's still snowing.
Where's my sledge?

We can all now sit and complain about this new weather phenomenon! :rolleyes:
I never once complained about the snow so i shall make up for it complaining about the rain.:rolleyes:Quote:

Yeah it's been fun just watching all the sledging clips. Unfortunately no fun in the snow been had by me. :( Apart from building a wee snowman! Shame really as I think I could have had some good snowboarding practice! :cool:Quote:

Up to 18inches by me in Salop.:)
Of course when it does thaw you better hope it's a slow one or there is going to be one mother of a flood.......Quote:
