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.

Fareham/Gosport has been gridlocked since about 4pm. I guess that once
the gritters can get through the main roads will be OK but as for the
minor roads... The one positive thing is that the south of Portsea
Island is very much influenced by the sea so there may be very little
snow there, and if there is it should disappear relatively quickly.
Surely you can get reports on the last part of the journey from SWMBO.
CEEFAX can give you an overall view of the main routes


I very nearly did until I looked at my morning paper, Berkshire and
Northern Hampshire look like getting the worst of the snow. I'll phone
the wife about 8-00 pm and get update. I can't see the roads I will be
using being a problem, I'm just worried that there might be tailbacks,
or road closures, like there were yesterday.
Thanks for the other info.
