Monday, Snow and Wing Quilters
Monday 19 March 09:00
There is no snow to worry about in or on the approach roads to Wing. A brief run round my normal routes showed the only possible hazard to be odd patches of frozen water. and of course the fact that it is cold with a nasty chill factor in this wind.
Hall car park and drive are clear, three small patches of ice have been gritted, heating is on and all very welcoming down there for our VIP visitors today.

Sunday Snow around Wing
Sunday 18 March 2018 10:00
There was again snow last night and fairly high winds. This morning road conditions are good. I have driven Wing Preston Manton and back to Wing. There were Occasional patches of slush but the roads are gritted and salted so are just wet. No drifts seen.

Snow and Wing
Saturday 17 March 09:00
There was a light snow fall last night but it’s effect will be minor. I have not gone out but looking through my window there is none lying on the roads round Mill Close.
I imagine roads in and out of Wing will not be affected. I will report as soon as I can get out. I shall be snow clearing and gritting down at the hall but will first run up to the Preston turn to check road conditions. Any problems I will report here.
Paul.
10:30 Drove to Preston and the roads are in fact dry on the road past the barn conversion.
Temperature is around zero but climbing slowly so I don’t expect much by way of problems today.
