Harringay Passage
In the past the Passage has ended up slippery as settled snow is trampled upon and overnight temperatures turn that into ice. With the above weather conditions this may happen again, as in 2010 ('Help clear the passage')
Local councillor David Schmitz doing his bit for the volunteer ice clearance of 2010.

How many points do you get on the League Table of Responsible Education if you tweet that you are open when your Hornsey neighbours are closed. I vote they call themselves the Greig All-Weather City Academy. Saint David and St Catherine, pray for us.

sorry to spoil the fun, but it's a road high in the japanese mountains, which is closed because of a winter's worth of snow and drifting. they clear it in the spring. not really a fair comparison. perhaps it's more like a high alpine pass.
right, boring head off - continue with your fun

Should have linked to South Harringay Infants website which is here. SH Junior School yet to decide? No text from them at this point.

Couldn't find a website for South Harringay Junior School. Do they have one?

Yes but it doesn't come up in searches for some reason. Can't remember if it's been officially 'released' yet. They text all parents though so I can update in morning if we hear anything.

The good folk of Harringay are out already clearing snow away around the passage, up around Frobisher Rd.
