Hampshire County Council have said they will focus on gritting the main roads around North West Hampshire.
However this means that a large number will not be treated, leading to very dangerous driving conditions.
Leave a message below to tell us which roads near you are dangerous and we'll let the whole of North West Hampshire know about them. |

"Charnwood Close and Hedge End Road are lethal this morning, no bus again and 1-2 Call Taxis came to my rescue again, they couldn't make it to my house and had to walk down to them. I think its disgraceful that the Council have not been out overnight gritting in our area. We pay our council tax without fail and expect the Council to reciprocate when we need them! Lets hope the thaw starts soon." |

"totally agree with carol below i dont understand why they want to open the infant and junior schools yet close all the secondary school i dont think its fair for all the little ones to have to go out in this and yet the older ones get to stay in " |

"Secondary schools closed apart from those doing exams, good, but why oh why are the primary schools open, surely it is harder for them to walk to school than the older ones, it's just mad. The roads are small roads and all the paths are awful today, take care everyone when your out." |

"The reason that the roads were so terrible this morning is because the council ran out of Grit!!!
Tricks if your stuck in the snow, use a old piece of carpet to place infront of your car for the tyres to grip you. It will get you moving again. Some people have used cat litter also. If you see someone stuck in the snow..give them a push!" |

"Going into work this morning at 5.30am I was very surprised to find that the road between Sainsburys and Munroes roundabout, right the way up New street, past the Vigo park and down past the Andover Sound studios through to Keens house opposite the Asda roundabout and right the way up Anton Mill Road didn't appear to have been gritted.

"I tried to go into work this morning, left home at 5am, got as far as fullerton and had to turn back, the hills are just too slippery. I would like to thank a kind gentleman who helped me. It took just under an hour to go about 4 miles there and back. The road was not clear of snow or gritted, best of luck to anyone who tries it. " |

"Here in Whitchurch its very difficult nearly impossible to get out of the closes there must about 2-3 inches of snow if not more. I advised everyone to stay at home as not worth the risk as snow is still falling so run the risk of not being able to get back home " |

"When snow falls and turns into ice it is very hard for cars etc to get up the hill and they slip back down so needs greeting." |
