Dear All
I hope you are all able to get to Bournemouth given the weather.
The weekend is booked re your requests and I will have to pay the money owed whether you are able to get there or not due to weather conditions.
I have my fingers crossed for you all.
Chris xxxx

Following Twitter this afternoon conditions on the roads from Southampton westwards are clearly treacherous, you can see these for yourselves with pictures and a number of warnings not to travel. The weather forecast for overnight and the first part of the morning has both red and amber warnings, a drier spell and then more snow. I understand that people travelling to Bournemouth tonight are stuck and things will only get worse, certainly a number of factors to consider before setting off (or not)

Not good at the moment
People stuck on the A31 for the last 5 hours without moving and look like spending the night there
Thoughts are with them

Looks as though it has just started moving again. Stories of snow ploughs called in, sounds dreadful. Up to 8 hour delays!

Kyle Ingram just arrived by car - said M3 M27 and A 31 currently clear.
I have seem a new band of snow to hit about 2pm ? Well if you trust the radar maps.
I cannot advise only update what others are saying as they are arriving,

Dear All
A huge thanks to those that managed to get there. A couple of which spent an uncomfortable night in the snow.
I am truly sorry for others that had travel difficulties.
This was a freak of nature. Which we cannot forsee.
I will be updating re next year later in the next two weeks.
