Snow in Guildford expected tomorrow - are we prepared?

With snow disrupting much of the UK,
-
Snow in the Guildford suburbs
albeit not quite yet in Guildford, there is nothing better than being
prepared.
The Met Office has currently put the
area on 'yellow' on their weather warning chart for tomorrow (27th
November), which means to be prepared for any potential snowfall.
Some roads across the area have already
been gritted as early as last Wednesday (24th November) in
preparation for the cold weather as temperatures plummet towards
below freezing.
Drivers are currently being advised to
drive carefully to avoid any motoring accidents.
After the dramatic snowfall earlier
this year, the worst seen for decades, the local Council are keen to
avoid major disruption this time around.
One thing they'll be keen to avoid is
disruption to local bus services; in February the bus service came to
a standstill as it couldn't make its way through the thick snow-laden
roads.
Changes may also be made to the waste
collection days if the bad weather disrupts it. Any chances can be
found on the Your Guildford website by typing in your postcode and
checking the status of collections in your area.
The Council's Facebook and Twitter accounts will be updating throughout any period of bad weather so these are also worth bookmarking.
Residents can also find out about how
to make sure you're prepared for winter with a guide we published on
Guildford People a few weeks ago.
