[Misc] The Award-winning official "More Snow Tomorrow?" Thread [2023-24 Season]

Haywards Heath at a complete standstill, had to abandon my car. Very annoying!

Just taken me an hour and a half to travel a couple of miles......it's chaos in the Heath!

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Just been out with the kids in the Arctic wilderness that it's Durrington. Amazing out there

Sister in law left mine in Shoreham at 5.45pm and still not back in Lancing, nearly 2 hours later.

View attachment 40202M23 near Crawley, barely moving

Pop in, I'll make you a cuppa

 

[Tulip]

Seafront about half hour ago (From the argus)

Ditchling Road at the top of Upper Hollingdean and down towards town is apparently impassable!

 

[chucky1973]

So, errrm, not actually coming down then. More 'going along'?

The house at the end of the street has gone, wall of snow!, heavier now than at anytime today

Just had a phone call from a work mate, he left Burgess Hill at 5.30 and is on the 23 at Pyecombe. He hasn't got a heater in his car either.

in worthing and doesn't seem like there's been much today at all

just lots of fine flakes all afternoon and barely a cm

was hoping for something a lot better

South Road still gridlocked in HH. Traffic moving about 1 metre a minute.

Did the council grit the roads in Brighton?

BHCC say they did, yet everyone saying they didn't?

 

[11:56 from Fareham]

Absolutely naff all down this way

 

[TSB]

About half a foot on Hove seafront. A23 and A27 screwed, no buses, massive delays on trains. Going to be fun in the morning...

Whilst i have not been in every road in Brighton and Hove today , i have done a 10 hour shift in the cab and did not at any time see a single gritter !

 

[Norman Potting]

Chaos everywhere I could see, jammed up and traveled at a snails pace from Rustington this evening. There really isn't much snow falling but ALL roads seem un-gritted and as such even the inch that has settled is causing chaos. BBC Radio Sussex went from saying there were " Major Problems" to " Outright Disaster " in the course of 3 travel updates. It seems that there is virtually no movement up and down the A23/A24 and the A259 coast road is barely moving. Chalky road at a standstill up to Mile Oak too.

Expect some tough questions for West and East Sussex county councils in the morning..

ESCC Twitter feed is reporting regular gritting on main routes.

Stuck on train just north of the Heath. All the trains are creeping along. Never seen so many sparks coming from the electric pickup shoes. Like watching an arc welder.

 

[Butch Willykins]

Im due to have a visit from a BT Openreach engineer tomo. I would assume the chances of him turning up are between slim and f**k all.

This extremely strong northerly wind is blowing a stack of fresh snow over the efforts of clearing/gritting.

The grit did the trick in January. Not this time.

just got to my flat near h.heath station after leaving at 4.45pm from shoreham - most of that time spent in cuckfield. eventually dumped my car in a spot near the 1 way system by the station, woudlnt recommend trying to go there or sainsburys, cars cant get up the roundabout

 

[Mr Albion]

Abandoned my car bot of Elm Grove, it's insane out there. No way is there grit on these roads.
PS anyone else notice the times of these posts an hour out? Is it the snow?

 

[cardboard]

So will i get to Cheltenham tomorrow? Will the trains be running to London?
