to tell DH I think it's mad for us to set out in a blizzard in the car with a 12wo and a 3yo?

[Jacksterbear]

For a visit to friends? They live 45mins away (in good traffic/weather) and it involves going on the M25. Terrified having seen news footage from last couple of weeks that we will break down/get stuck in the blizzard and all freeze. If we didn't have 12wo DD I wouldn't be so concerned. Am I being a drama queen?

YANBU, I would ring and arrange it for another time tbh, not worth the hassle.

[MayDayChild]

Dont go
Turn on LBC radio!!!!
Stay well away from M25

[nickeldonkeycarrymary]

YANBU.

I'm sitting here in the shop and it's just coming down.

I would not be travelling on the M25 today.

[werewolf]

I would cancel.

[CMOTdibbler]

yanbu - I would not be going anywhere today, esp with a tiny baby

[Blu]

I have just had a text from someone who says the M25 "is a car park".

Totally irresponsible to go - once you are stuck in a car park on ice, you either keep your engine running to avoid freezing to deathand then run out of petrol, or you just freeze to death.

[MegBusset]

Yanbu, it's not a day for unnecessary driving esp with a young baby. Stay warm at home, I'm sure your friends will understand.

[Georgimama]

Of course not. Just don't go. Phone your friend and cancel.

[nbee84]

I'm sure your friends would rather that you cancelled and stayed safe.

[DeckTheHallWithBowlsOfPomBears]

YANBU. It would be crazy to set out.

[Georgimama]

Actually I'd be surprised if they're still expecting you to turn up.

[werewolf]

Can you get on that website which gives real time images from traffic cameras - is it the Highways Agency?

Anyone know?

[Rupreckt]

Do not do it!!

[jellybeans]

YANBU, cancel it.

[wheredoesallthesnotcomefrom]

cancel!
YANBU

[pawsnclaws]

We've just cancelled a big evening out - please don't go out unless you really have to. Being stuck overnight in your car in freezing conditions is a real possibility.

[LoopyLoopsOfSparklyFairyLights]

Please don't go.

[expatinscotland]

Don't be daft and go.

Ring them up and cancel.

[clam]

the website www.trafficengland.co.uk is useful. Type in the motorway and section you want, tick the traffic cam box and you can see exactly what's happening at the moment.

[Rindercella]

YANBU.

In fact, you would be mad to venture out unless it absolutely essential.

I spoke to my mother in Surrey earlier & she said it was horrendous. And that my brother had been stuck on the A3 for ages.
