Snow Cuts Off South Devon

The main road between Exeter and Torbay/Plymouth is shut due to snow. Hundreds of motorists are stranded in their cars....... my son being one of them

I then got a text to say he had got off the A 380 and was on the coast road and moving slowly.

Local radio have now announced that this road has been closed too.

I know of one bunny who will not be happy and a Mum who is sat here with her heart pounding.

Dogsey vibes needed once again!

Blimey, i hope your son gets home ok. I didn't realise it was that bad down your way. We've just got rain/sleet up here.

This is what is so strange Esme, here am I about 25 miles away and it's tipping it down with rain.
What's it like where you are?

Chucking it down with rain but it's sleety slushy rain. The forecast says heavy snow for tonight though.

One of my suppliers in plymouth said he sent all his office staff home as the snow was awful down there.

I'm hoping it continues to rain tonight as i've got so much to do tomorrow i don't think i can cope with another blanket of snow!

Hopefully it is working it's way out of the county now but look out all of you in Wales and the Midlands.
Take care all.
