Snow Stops Macclesfield

I was unfortunate enough to be caught out in the snow in Macclesfield this evening. After being forecast for around a week prior to it actually snowing, the roads in Macclesfield descended into chaos. It took approximately an hour and a half to get from Tesco on Hibel Road to part way up Buxton Road.

Both roads were covered in snow, with no sign of a council gritter or plough anywhere. The road conditions were terrible with many vehicles just wheel spinning on the slightest incline.

Lack Of Preparation

Why, when this event was so well predicted in advance were the council not ready to go? Not a sight of them anywhere when I was out in Macclesfield.

An abysmal effort on the part of the local authorities of which they should be ashamed. I have added a short video showing the driving conditions on Buxton Road, Macclesfield.
