Hereford Voice Posted March 1, 2018 Report Posted March 1, 2018 I took these photographs at 19.30 in Hereford this evening and as you can see the road conditions are pretty bad. This snow is like a powder and the wind is causing blizzard type conditions add this to the current -4 temperature and this is the result. The forecast is that it is only going to get worse overnight. Quote
H.Wilson Posted March 1, 2018 Report Posted March 1, 2018 Thanks for the photographs, by tomorrow it is going to be terrible according to all the reports. Quote

Denise Lloyd Posted March 2, 2018 Report Posted March 2, 2018 It is vile in Kingstone had serious trouble getting out of my house to walk my little dog down the drive and just a little up the road until she had a pee = perhaps too much detail but there you go. Just one vehicle has ventured out but don't think he got far. Roll on a lovely spring warm morning when everything is greening up and the birds are singing and the lambs are bleating Note to self do not leave shovel/spade in garage if it is going to snow!!!
