Neither the top of Lordship Lane to the South Circular, nor Forest Hill Road are remotely gritted. Both major roads and bus routes with schools off them. Surely there was enough notice to get these gritted? I don't usually complain about non-gritting because there are clearly times when snow is unexpected or grit has to be used tactically, but have just driven from Kirkdale to Marmora Road and it took an hour - black ice all the way and cars skidding everywhere.

Go to your class. I fully intend going to my gym class, then dinner before heading back. Might be more chance of roads being clearer or having been gritted by then...


5 inches in Forest Hill... does the Horniman really count as higher ground for weather forecast purposes?

I always wonder whether the top end of Forest Hill Road, the top of London Road and Wood Vale all suffer since they're on the edge of the borough and share a boundary with Lewisham - does each council think the other will do it?


Definitely not as bad as it was earlier in the year. There weren't many trains leaving Victoria so hopped on a 185 which brought me home. Fascinating watching the snow level increase as you got further out. VIrtually nothing at Vauxhall, Oval, an inch or so by Denmark Hill and 4 inches by the time you reach the Horniman.


I suspect the majority of the snow falling during the day where the volume of traffic on key roads helps keep the main roads clearer than in Jan when the initial drop was overnight and it had built up before traffic kicked in. Tomorrow morning, if it continues all night, will probably be more challenging!

The 363 and 63 buses were all terminating at the Rye at 7(still no service),so many of us were walking up the hill tonight,it always seems puzzling that they cannot manage to provide a service,there seems such a poor communication system too.Coming back from central london,it feels so surreal as there was little snow there but good covering in the streets around here on the slopes.

    • It didn't occur to me to ask. No idea if dieticians are employed within the NHS. It is just one line of enquiry among others. The GP mentioned it, not me.
    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
    • Hi Busterb, Yesterday I turned up with a scanner & towels, hoping to take a deceased tabby down to TNV. The body was moved moments before arrival & had not been turned in to any vets, rescues or animal hospitals. I am wondering if this could have been the same cat & if someone just tried to move the tabby further away from the road. Please be warned, viewers discretion is advised. but this is what the deceased tabby looked like: https://www.facebook.com/groups/900015513463302/permalink/3729980853800073/  In any case, if you haven't been able to get someone to scan or take down to a vet, I can scan tomorrow morning.
