Sick of the incessant snow updates

after a few crashes and threats of legal action they miraculously changed back to gritting all streets where people live

Do councils actually have a legal responsibility to do this?

Serious question!

Ended up with about 5” higher up . Some locals schools decided to close at lunch time, obviously the teachers wanted to wait for it to stop snowing before they went sledging

DPD couldn’t be arsed turning up for work so unfortunately I am unable to use my bike as waiting for them to deliver tyre sealant

Time for this fun again of course:

On Her Majesty’s Slippery Surface has to be a winner this year…

Oh dear………

We keep getting promised proper snow. If the main roads are clear then it doesn’t count . I was disappointed when I set off on my bike this morning. The only snow, if you can call it that, was the light dusting on the bridge that crosses the Silk Road as part of the Middlewood Way. Absolute travesty!

Had slight, VERY slight, wet snow on saturday morning. it never settled. I’ve now got -6 or colder and heavy frost.

Another 2cm or so overnight and roads covered this morning

Woke up to big flakes but didn’t last long. Dogs enjoy it tho. Our – never gritted – road was white and slippy. Don’t think it’ll last long tho.

Not much here

Flipping straight over form below zero and clear skies to heavy rain and lightening and hovering above zero for Saturday AM. Oh, and 79km/h gusts!

Glad I’ve been getting out midweek, that might just be a morning on the turbo…

I’m having a treadmill delivered on Friday. That’s looking like good timing.

I built a snowman.

Show’s over folks.
