According to R2 travel lady: lots and lots of snow problems and blocked

roads in Norwich area?


It's horrendous. Three inches of snow in 90 minutes, on a weekday afternoon. Gridlock everywhere - multiple multi-vehicle "incidents" and children stuck in schools because the buses can't get through (the schools that weren't closed from this morning's flurry, that is).

Mayhem.

On the bright side - Thundersnow!

.... classic situation in this sort of air-mass: we had a similar event
back in the 1990s in St. Albans: went from a cold, quiet afternoon to
absolute pandemonium within 30 minutes. There's nothing the agencies can
do ... sometimes the 'weather' wins out.
