I have to travel from Preston Lancs. to Portsmouth to bring my wife back

Due to the severe weather we are experiencing and the short time I have
to prepare, can anyone recommend a web site that will be up to date,
quite quickly, on road conditions and closures due to the weather
conditions please?

most "proper" such websites I checked today were bust or text only....

Don't try it wednesday. There is currently about 3 ins in the Portsmouth
area with more further north and it's still snowing. The snow is 'wet'
on the ground so unless the roads are cleared it will be very slippery.


Thanks for that. Daughter lives on the border between Southsea and
Eastney, on the coast.

Ah! So you know about snow? Not many do these days. :-)
Locals are clueless, they think the faster they can spin the driving
wheels, the faster they can get up the hill. It makes it very difficult
for any decent driver to follow them.
