Roads and Grit

Seems like we have been a little over zealous with our use of grit as the bins were empty!

So we are all back to slipping and sliding!!!

I will try to get some grit from bins around the city on my travels today.

Just re read that and i sound like a right tramp lol digging around in bins.....

If theres no grit left....

All of the dads will have to make a giant snowball and roll it around the roads, clearing them as we go.

I think Heritage Park V Swallows Rise, and we'll meet you at the roundabout.

Not sure what we'll do with the balls when we've finished, but it sounded like a good idea when I first started typing.

Staying in today

So don't know what it's like off the estate, but just watched a van drive really carefully past my house, and he was still sliding a lot.

15:15 - Roads look to be clearing up

It looks like there's some sleet coming down on John Rhodes Way, which is helping to drive the snow off.

I've just see one or two cars go up and down, and they are fairing far better than this morning.

No problem man

It's all good this side too. Cars still taking it slowly and some slush still on the road on Spitfire Way after the Hurricane Grove turning, but nothing that should cause any problems.

looks less sleety

Yeah see what you mean.

I've just phoned the Mrs, whose popped down to Tesco (kidsgrove) ans she said it's sleet has virtually got rid of the snow.

Just our luck. Maybe it will hold out. Try and keep you posted........

Roads don't look too bad.

This is only the opinion of someone sitting in a warm office, whose not had to drive all day.

But, the roads don't look to bad here.

hope you all have a safe journey home.
