What did the weather situation end up being like?
Two reports in "[WR] Dudley, West Midlands" the first at 1144 gives 3-4
cms depth with snow fall starting about 0430. The second at 1548 gives
10cm with continual snow. So that's about 1.5cm/hr. This is day time, a
bit of rock salt, plough down and the traffic will keep the roads clear
without any trouble. 10cm (4") is hardly a heavy snow fall either.
I know that, in our recent ice storm, we were very happy when decisions
to close were made the afternoon before because it allowed us to make
plans much easier than if we had to wait until the morning.
Surely the forecast would tell you that the sensible thing to do is make
plans then not wait until the morning to make them? All you have to do in
the morning is impliment them, or not.
