I have to travel from Preston Lancs. to Portsmouth to bring my wife back
home. I have until Friday night to get her 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?


What did you decide to do: attempt the journey or suggest YBH comes
home by train?

I am tentatively going to try and bring her back home. The slightest
hitch and I will do a U turn and come back home myself.

I'm getting too old to be doing this sort of run.


i'm sure you'll drive carefully.

If your car radio has RDS, tune it to a BBC station and enable Traffic
Announcements. Any BBC station giving out a travel bulletin that is
within range of your car will switch the radio over to their
broadcast. This way, you use the plethora of BBC stations to monitor
conditions local to you.

You may be able to turn the audio down, and only hear the traffic
bulletins, if you don't like the programmes :-)

Drive safely.


I turned the radio to mute, as my wife and I don't share the same
delight in stations. She likes Radio 2, I like Classic FM.

While I was going to the loo and came back, I was informed that there
was a snow problem in Cheshire. Come to drive through Cheshire and there
were just the chevrons on the road, they never slow me down.
