Bassman Steve Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Can anyone help out here? I am gigging at the Red Lion, Stevenage tomorrow night (24th) and am driving up from Pompey. Is the weather ok around the area? I have an overcast sky and it's a bit chilly but that's all, so the pictures of Arctic wastelands are a bit concerning. I have no problem with taking a shovel and having a difficult journey but don't want to set out and not get there. Quote
bridge Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) Hi mate, I am in Luton, just up the road, snow overnight is now melting, more forecast but you can never be sure how much eh? Overcast at present but not snowing, roads clear Edited March 23, 2013 by bridge Quote
flyfisher Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 I'm about 5 miles south of Stevenage and we have a little over an inch of snow. But the main roads are clear and the snow is really only slush on the side roads, so no problem if you are careful. I would guess that the motorways are all gritted and will be pretty clear, so I'd be very surprised if you have any problems getting to Stevenage via the A1 and the side roads will probably be the same as here, slushy but not a problem. But much will depend on what happens to the temperature tonight. Freezing conditions could easily make your trip home far more tricky. Plus, there's always the risk of an accident causing a big hold up. Quote
TheGreek Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 In Hatfield (8 miles) - it snow last night - now turned into slush but roads are easily passable. Quote
Bassman Steve Posted March 23, 2013 Author Posted March 23, 2013 Thanks very much everyone. Hard to gauge when the weather here is so different. Guess I'll be huddling round my valves to keep warm tomorrow evening! Quote
monkeynuts Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 I'm in Stevenage, roads are all fine just about an inch of snow about. Its just started coming down again though! Great place to play the Red Lion, sure you'll have a good one! Quote
Balcro Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 As has been said earlier, the main roads up to and in Stevenage are OK. The Red Lion is on the west side of the High St (Old Town). It's a small pub with low ceilings in the band area. Good luck. For the SG1 postcode area, the BBC web-site weather forecast says "light snow ending about mid-day". That's usually a pessimistic forecast. After all it's Hertfordshire. Balcro Quote
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Yeah, theBBC weather is accurate. I haven't got theBBC app, but on the website it is good. Quote
TheGreek Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 The roads are slowly drying out melting though I'm not sure whether they predict any downturn between now and this evening... Hope the gig goes well.. Quote
Bassman Steve Posted March 24, 2013 Author Posted March 24, 2013 Thanks again all. We play there regularly and always enjoy the gig so tonight should be no exception. :-) Quote
