I just wonder what the difference is between a road 'Closed' and 'Blocked' by snow? Either way, the result is the same. Doesn't "Closed" mean you can get through with a 4WD Landrover and chains, whereas normal cars would be stuck? -- Peter |

But they closed the gates on the Lecht Road today, and the RAC report it as 'blocked', so I dunno... -- Steve Loft, Glenlivet. 200m ASL http://www.livet.org.uk/weather (being redecorated, watch the wet paint) http://www.livet.org.uk/webcam.php |

Around here "closed" means that the boards are out and proceeding past them may invalidate your insurance. The term blocked means that nothing can get through, not even the snowploughs or blowers but the road would also be closed... -- Cheers Dave. pam is missing e-mail |
