The snow has turned to rain in Barnsley
Snow in Calderdale but rain in Keighley this morning.
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.
I have to say Biara I have some sympathy for teachers etc but not sure whats happening this morning. I live in a reasonably high spot on the edge of the peak. we get alot of snow and there are two schools within 50m of my house. Both appear to be closed
The roads are clear up here despite the 4 inches over night, buses are running as normal, Daughter went to her school in Sheffield this morn. Wife has Driven to work in Huddesfield( not unknown for snow). I'm just setting off to go to Sheffield. My running partner went to Leeds this morning.
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.
