Best Road Advice
Who do you think is the best for road advice in bad weather? Tomorrow I am booked to speak at TWO meetings in the Wirral, about 80 miles from home. (Coffee morning and lunchtime) In normal weather I would be leaving at 07.30. There is a notorious hill on the A55 which gets snow blocked, and I want to check before I leave home.
I cannot go tonight as I am speaking at Bangor tonight. This is my most intensive time in my diary for my whole year with 3 presentations in less than 24 hours - why does the snow come now?
Any advice on phone numbers or websites I could contact tomorrow would be appreciated.
Thanks

Katharine,
Not exactly what you are looking for... but I find this Met Forcasting site very useful for everyday use and travel.
http://www.eurometeo.com/english/forecast/city_EGLF
It is set up for Farnborough which is the nearest location to me.
If you click on the 'UNITED KINGDOM' name (below the word Farnborough) you can then select the location nearest to you, or your destination.
John.

The best websites to look at will be the met office website (http://www.metoffice.gov.uk) and NetWeather (http://www.netweather.tv) - I'm a regular poster on that site...
It looks like it may not hit north Wales / Wirral area until later on in the day and the snow by that stage may not amount to much...

Decision made - I am still at home. We both decided it just wasn't worth it. Snow and wind here - I will go into work soon when I have contacted the Clubs to say that I won't be there.
If they have not got a speaker booked for next month, I could go then. In April I am going to Southport for the evening on the second Thursday so it could be Wirral for coffee, Ellesmere Port for lunch and Southport for dinner
