M27

[xllifts]

Is Shut whilst ploughs go through at Hedge end mrsxl stuck there at the moment!!

[ThunderSpook]

My other half got stuck on the A3 at Petersfield. Has your missus made it home yet? Mine isn't going to.

[mrsxllifts]

No, not yet, sat on M27, apparantly jam is caused by the police only letting one car at a time up the off ramp at J9.

[ThunderSpook]

We're lucky that my parents live in Petersfield so she has gone there. Car is still on the A3.

[Heaveho]

Trying to decide whether or not it's madness to consider getting to work in the morning....Hamble to Reading, doesn't look good, but I'll feel a bit limp if others from down here make it on site up there!

[daveparry]

My journey goes from Portsmouth to Eastliegh back to Hedge End then Farnborough throught to Aldershot then on to Haslemere and back to Portsmouth.....Will I make it????

I may just stay in bed!

I'm not a million miles from the M27 and its still snowing here at the moment - doesn't look great for driving out there, that's for sure.

For any of you even thinking about driving in the morning, don't bother! It has taken me 5 hours to drive from Hedge End to Denmead on the motorways and side roads. All are stuffed and once it freezes, will be bloody dangerous. Stay in bed, make snowballs, leave the car at home, its not worth it. As I told someone earlier who want me to go out to the middle of no-where, 'I'm not paid enough to risk my life'

p.s. glad you got home safe

I assume you're home OK now Hannah?
It was bad enough on the A3 between 5 and 7 tonight, I heard the reports from the A/M27 sounds awful and made worse by the inexperienced twunts trying (and failing) to drive round there!

I wish! I said that I can make it through intact, didn't say I could do it quickly though!

I got in OK (West End - Fareham) The roads were OK because most had stayed at home. The M27 was clear until I got to J9. There must have been 60 cars parked up on the long slip off there going west bound. There were about 20 abandoned cars east bound along my route.

Steve.D decided not to come in from Waterlooville. Still caotic just getting off his estate. He can spend all day at the PC!!!!

Heavy falling snow here now. I may call it a day soon and clamber back into the AMAZON

Snow line stopped just about where I live: 30 seconds on half an inch of white, then clear all the way to work. However, it's now cacking it down, so whether I'll get home again....

[CarlT]

I set off for Crawley this morning and had to give up at Junction 7 (Basingstoke) of the M3!!!

[LukeBird]

Not on shift until tomorrow... I reckon it's going to be a right barrel of laughs in the '5 on ice!

[Thejimreaper]

Luckily I dont have to venture out or else I would be posting up for Steves phone number to borrow the Dakar. How much fun could you have in that at the mo. Would make a good photo shoot to!!

[NWVT]

It took him about an hour to get it started this morning. Whilst out "playing" in the mud over xmas he managed to submerge it so the water was at waist level. Then of course all that moisture had frozen. He thinks the FIA kill switch was full up with water when he parked up.

Still! He did get it started, so, says alot about how tough the ol' beastie is! The Daka is fairly robust too!

Just walked accross the bridge over the M27 and the matrix signs say the A3m is still closed J2 - J5. Snow has stopped here now and a semi thaw has started, just ready to freeze tonight! Deep joy?
