[hitony]

I have got to leave wales at 4.30 today and travel down to south london, that means the M4 and the south part of the M25, anyone know what the roads are like ?

(I am fully aware that they are made of a Black stuff called tarmac by the way )

according to radio 2 all people in south wales were advised not to go on any roads (this was about an hour ago heard off a third party). have you tried looking out the window?

m4 had some form of road works on it when we went to bristol - may be gone now though

I am sure with the Surrey schools starting half term it will be clear as a bell.

The same Pontyclun near Llantrisant ? my companys head office is near there it was a nightmare earlier but i think its getting better now, by the time you leave brighton you should be all right, the snows eased up at the moment, i only live about 8 to 10 miles from there

Drove down to Bristol yesterday evening & the M4 was fine - arrived about 9pm.

Drove up to Stroud late morning today in heavy snow, but the M5 was well gritted & no problem.

Came back to Sussex this afternoon via the A419/M4 with no problems.

No need to panic people!

Well up here in dodgy Telford it been snowing thick and hard (ooh) since 11 this morning. When I left work early to drive home at 4pm, there was at least 6 inches (ooh) on my windscreen.

It took me an hour to drive the 4 miles home.

Hitony, be prepared for a very S L O W journey .....
