How bad is the snow in the Medway area of Kent? There's a lad who hasn't been able to get into work this week as he's "snowed in" I just wanted to check how bad things were as he did this when we had snow last month.

Sittingbourne/Chatham are alright, main roads are gritted. The problem is the side roads, luckily for my neighbours, my RS splitter has cleared the way for them, others are not so lucky. Some of the arterial roads are closed in that area, which makes travel nigh on impossible.

Whereabouts is he? I'm in Lordswood which often gets it bad because of being on top of the hill. The stuff earlier this month see me working at home Tuesday pm through to Friday am when I finally dug the car out - snow was knee height where it hadn't drifted.

This time we didn't get much at all about 5 inches. I'm a field engineer and have been all over Kent,Essex and Herts this week with no problems at all. Buses have been running and on Friday I even see a gritter doing back roads around Lordswood. Wife has also got to London all week

Not sure where he is, I'll look when I get in to work this evening.

I'm in Lordswood & the wife has managed to get out every day this week, although her Astra is great in the snow. My S-Type & 944 have stayed on the drive, not usre about the 944 but the S is crap in this weather. Today has seen our area clear quite well but estate areas, especially cul-de-sacs are interesting.

Tbh I have been driving round all week round pretty much everywhere in Medway and its nothing a bit of effort, good route planning and guile wouldn't solve...

Try and find a clearer location and chances are I'll have been near there... Damn, I'll even reccie the road now!

(Can you tell Im pissed at the "can't make it in brigade!")
