MORE snow will fall on Wednesday and Thursday after yesterday's Met Office warnings for today rang true.

The Met Office issued the yellow warning yesterday, asking the public to 'be prepared' for snow, which has been falling in fits and spells across Lincolnshire.

After their predictions were proven true, they have now issued a further warning that snow could return to the area on Wednesday and Thursday this week.

Grimsby saw sleet turn to blizzard like snow-showers in powerful winds from late afternoon today and more rural areas were hit in the morning.

However, the snow does not yet appear to be settling on the ground and roads – although the Met Office has warned people to be aware of disruptions to travel.

Bishop of Grimsby criticises plan to change benefits system

THE Bishop of Grimsby was among others who signed an open letter criticising plans to change the benefit system.
Forty-three bishops nationwide, including the Right Reverend David Rossdale, wrote the letter to The Sunday Telegraph, saying the benefits cuts will have a "deeply disproportionate" effect on children.
The Government announced plans to limit rises in working-age benefits and some tax credits to one per cent for three years. But the Department for Work and Pensions said changing the system will help get people "into work and out of poverty".
The letter calls on politicians to "protect" children and families, and has been supported by the Archbishop of York, the Most Reverend John Sentamu, and the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby.
"Children and families are already being hit hard by cuts to support, including those to tax credits, maternity benefits and help with housing costs," it reads.
"They cannot afford this further hardship penalty. We are calling on the House of Lords to take action to protect children from the impact of this bill."
The letter is in support of a campaign by the Children's Society which it said has also received support from the Roman Catholic and Methodist Churches, the Baptist Union, the United Reform Church and the Evangelical Alliance.
 he Bishop of Leicester, the Right Reverend Tim Stevens, who leads bishops in the House of Lords, said: "The bishops feel we have to be involved as it is no longer true to say these people are costing us money because they are feckless or lazy.
"We are talking about people who are working hard to support their families.
 We are facing families who will have to choose from April 1 between buying food for their children and paying their rent, or between feeding their children and turning the fire on."
A spokesman for the Department for Work and Pensions said: "In difficult economic times we've protected the incomes of pensioners and disabled people, and most working age benefits will continue to increase 1 per cent.
"This was a tough decision but it's one that will help keep the welfare bill sustainable in the longer term.
"By raising the personal allowance threshold, we've lifted 2 million people out of tax altogether, clearly benefiting people on a low income."

Success for Grimsby dog and teenage owner at Crufts

LOCAL dancing dog Magic was runner-up for the third time at Crufts – although she nearly didn't compete at all.
Mel Ely, owner of Klever K9s dog trainers in Grimsby, got back from Crufts and told how friend Lydia Urquhart-Smith snatched a second place from the jaws of defeat.
Magic, who was once a runner-up in Britain's Got Talent, took the prize in the Young Kennel Club's Heelwork to Music Freestyle category – for the third time.
However, barely an hour before, a strange noise spooked her so much that teenager Lydia, 17, of Immingham, thought she wouldn't even be able to compete. Mel said: "She was crawling around on her belly trying to get out of the place – we thought she wouldn't be going on at all.
"Magic wasn't looking happy but Lydia calmed her down and played games with her for about an hour and was able to come on.
"To get second in those circumstances was a real achievement – particularly if you had seen her an hour before.
"It goes to show, you work hard all year for this but they're not robots so things can still go wrong – and we wouldn't want them to be."

Crufts: What keeps dog lovers returning year after year

Grimsby Telegraph reporter and The Journal editor, Laura Stuart-Cook, has been judging at Crufts dog show over the last four days. As the show comes to a close, she reflects on what keeps dog lovers returning year on year ...
 

Four days, 25,000 dogs and one best in show winner - Crufts is all over for another 12 months. As I write this, thousands of canine enthusiasts are beginning their journeys home, whether that's a few minutes down the road from Birmingham's NEC or on the other side of the world. The Kennel Club is rolling up the famous green carpet and the owners of the Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen which took the top spot are quite probably cracking open the huge bottle of champagne they won!
And everybody who has visited the show over the last four days will undoubtedly already thinking about one thing - next year's Crufts. The qualification process starts all over again tomorrow, with all but the very highest-winning dogs having to gain top prizes at championship shows throughout the year to secure their places at Crufts 2014.
The same applies to the 170-plus handlers I have judged, who will all be eager to qualify for next year, providing they aren't turning 25 and graduating from the world of Young Kennel Club competitions, that is. My overall winner, who took the coveted Young Kennel Club Show Handler of the Year title, will now represent the UK at the World Dog Show in Budapest later this year - a hugely exciting, and daunting, prospect for her.
 And once that is over, she too will be back in the ring among like-minded dog lovers, eager to do it all again. This year's Crufts has been an incredible experience for me and I feel honoured to have been invited to judge at the world's biggest dog show.
Next year will be something on an anti-climax after the excitement and responsibility of my judging appointment, but 2014's show is also sure to be far more relaxing! After four hours of judging a day and miles of hiking between the exhibition halls, I'm looking forward to having more time to stock up on goodies from the trade stands next year! For those of you who have been watching the TV coverage on More 4 and Channel 4 but haven't ever journeyed to Crufts, I urge you to pencil the dates for next year's show in your diaries. If you love dogs, then you'll love Crufts! I'll see you there!

Judge says 'Lock them up'! Grimsby magistrates blasted for not remanding defendants in custody

A JUDGE has criticised Grimsby magistrates for not remanding defendants in custody often enough – especially repeat offenders.

Judge Robert Moore launched his attack after hearing that a prolific offender had repeatedly been given bail, despite often committing new offences.

He told Grimsby Crown Court: "Astonishing how often the local magistrates here do not remand in custody."

Judge Moore said the defendant was a "serial offender" and added that his criminal record was so bad that "you can't catch your breath really".

He jailed the thief for a year for a string of offences, including breaching a community order imposed for burglary and theft.

During a previous visit to Grimsby Crown Court, Judge Moore's no-nonsense views – and his willingness to impose prison sentences – proved so popular on the Telegraph's website that he was widely praised by readers and there were calls for him to become Mayor. One comment read: "Judge Moore for Mayor".

He made headlines at the time by expressing amazement at supposedly lenient sentences imposed at Grimsby Crown Court – and asking during a case: "What does it take to get locked up at this court?"

Judge Moore is normally based at Sheffield Crown Court, but visits the Grimsby court several times a year.

Grimsby Magistrates' Court declined to comment on Judge Moore's remark.

It is believed, however, that figures are not kept by courts on issues related to the remand of defendants in custody.

It is regarded as an established principle that decisions on whether to grant bail are made on an individual basis depending on the circumstances of each case.

Reckless thief crashed stolen car in bodged getaway

RECKLESS car thief Tristan Singer crashed a brand new car after hurtling out of a huge compound at speeds of up to 100mph in the dead of night.

The car ended up overturned and seriously damaged when he and two other thieves audaciously tried to speed off in stolen cars after scaling a fence and waiting for the gate to open, a court heard.

Singer, 21, formerly of Duke Street, Grimsby, admitted stealing a car, dangerous driving and having no insurance and licence on December 10.

Bernard Gateshill, prosecuting, told Grimsby Crown Court that three intruders suddenly drove three new cars at speed towards the exit of a big compound, just off the A180, on the approach to the town centre, when the gate was opened just after 3am.

An Audi, valued at £33,000, sped off and has apparently never been recovered. Singer drove a Volkswagen Golf, valued at £14,000, out of the compound but "did not get very far".

He drove recklessly along the main road before braking erratically, hit a roundabout and turned over, suffering serious damage.

Police saw Singer run off after getting out of the car. He was later arrested.

The speeds of the two cars that did get out of the compound were estimated by police to be between 80mph and 100mph, said Mr Gateshill.

A third driver, in a Skoda, valued at £11,000, tried to drive out of the compound gate but failed to get out in time. The car was damaged beyond repair and other cars in the yard were damaged as the three drivers hurtled between cars towards the front gate.

The gate suffered damage estimated at £2,500. The other two drivers have not been arrested.

Michael Culshaw, mitigating, said Singer was unemployed and suffering a drug addiction at the time. He went along with the escapade but it ended up with "disastrous consequences".

Singer had been promised £500 for his role but was putting himself at great risk because he had very little experience of driving cars.

Judge Robert Moore told Singer: "For the promise of £500, you joined a carefully planned operation. You drove so badly and wildly, you crashed and could have killed yourself."

Singer was jailed for two years and was banned from driving for a year. He must pass an extended retest.

Video: New Grimsby Town signing Dougie Wilson set to make debut in Mansfield clash

NEW signing Dougie Wilson is champing at the bit to make his Grimsby Town debut in tonight's crucial clash at Mansfield Town (7.45pm). The Hull City midfielder, who joined on a loan deal until the end of the season on Friday, trained with his Mariners team-mates for the first time yesterday. And, after impressing joint bosses Rob Scott and Paul Hurst, the 19-year-old will be thrown straight into the match-day squad that travels to the One Call Stadium this evening. Wilson, who has represented Northern Ireland at youth level, is under no illusions as to the importance of the clash with the Stags. And, speaking to the Telegraph, he says he's more than ready to make his Mariners bow should he be called upon. "Mansfield are well up there in the league and fighting for promotion as well as us so it should be a great game to be involved in – hopefully I am," he said. "It was my first training session with the rest of the lads yesterday and it was good to be involved – the lads here are all spot on.
"It's a really important game tonight for the club and hopefully I can play some part." After sealing his move from the Tigers, Wilson was at Blundell Park to watch Town's 3-1 defeat to Kidderminster on Saturday. And despite the result, he saw enough to convince him of the Mariners' promotion credentials this season. "I was in the stands on Saturday and there was plenty to take in," he continued. "There wasn't much between the two teams in truth, it's just that they took their chances and we didn't. But it was easy to see why it was a top of the table clash and it was a good game. "I saw what I could bring to the team if I'm given the chance, and hopefully that will come tonight. "I like to get on the ball and try to pass it, but I also like to get stuck in as well – that's the sort of player I am and I'm looking forward to getting started here." On his loan move – which has seen him link-up with fellow City player Jamie Devitt – Wilson added: "It's a great opportunity for me. "To come down here, be involved in the first team and get games is going to be brilliant – hopefully I can do well for the club. "It's an ideal move for me because it means I can get in with Devs again, who is a top lad and a top player. "It's been good to join back up with him and it's always nice when you come to a club and know someone already. "He really sold the club to me and told me how good it is down here at the minute so when I was asked if I'd be interested in coming, I said yes straight away. "Town have got a great chance of going up this season. "We're near the top and we've got games in hand so I think we've got a great chance of going up. "Just to come to a club like this, without there being a chance of promotion, would have been good. "But the fact that Town are pushing for the title, makes it even better."

Ex-Grimsby Town player Curtis Woodhouse told Twitter troll 'I'm waiting for you in your street'

Boom! Ex-Mariner turned boxer Curtis Woodhouse just scored a knockout blow for every athlete who's ever been harassed by sports trolls on Twitter. The former Grimsby Town midfielder lost his country's light welterweight title to Shayne Singleton on Friday. Two days later, a troll using the handle @jimmyob88 began taunting Woodhouse, calling him a "complete disgrace," "laughable joke" and "waste of spunk." Woodhouse, who played at Blundell Park in 2006 before making the switch to boxing, initially replied with some trash talk of his own, then took matters into his own hands in a way not yet done by anyone in the sports world's growing list of trolled pros. Sports trolls have become a growing problem on Twitter over the past several months as death threats and abuse have grown less and less shocking. NBA star Pau Gasol, NFL player Kyle Williams and broadcaster Erin Andrews are just a few recent victims of particularly harsh treatment. Some even see ugly fan behavior as a threat to the platform's viability with athletes and sports celebrities. But perhaps if more folks took the Woodhouse approach, sports fans would calm down. After growing tired of the banter, Woodhouse made an offer to his thousands of followers: "ill give £1000 to anybody that provides me with address and picture of this man! knock knock!!" The troll had a smart reply: "what u going to do knock me out like your last opponent ooops" to which Woodhouse replied cryptically: "you will find out soon enough son" Soon enough, Woodhouse appeared to have figured out the troll's street of residence, which got the troll's attention, and then Woodhouse tweeted a photograph of the troll's street name sign. Then Woodhouse called him out and seemed to induce a bit of a panic, with the troll tweeting: "i am sorry its getting abit out of hand i am in the wrong i accept that" Woodhouse then said he got a call from someone who knew the troll and that the troll was begging mercy. But it seems a bit more knowledge of how Twitter works could have saved Woodhouse a lot of time and effort as he tweeted: "just found out you can block people!! could of let me know earlier i could have saved 20 quid in petrol!" Should more athletes deal with trolls this way? Leave your comments below

David Ross buys out workwear division of Cosalt Plc

DAVID Ross has bought out the workwear division of administration-hit Cosalt Plc, the company he chairs. Ballyclare Ltd, producer of garments for emergency services and the rail industry, has been purchased by the town entrepreneur for an undisclosed sum. Based in Stockport and Barnsley, with distribution depots down south, it follows the sale of Cosalt Offshore in Aberdeen when the administrators were first appointed. The move has disgruntled minor shareholders who resisted Mr Ross's attempt to privatise the whole company just over a year ago, and will receive nothing from the sale, but the Telegraph understands that the level of debt, the pension deficit within the enlarged business and the lack of funding opportunities going forward forced the third generation chair's hand.

POLICE are investigating an incident during which a group of people are alleged to have shouted racist abuse at shop staff in a Grimsby street. At around 7pm on Saturday, February 23, a group of four people, including adults and children, allegedly walked past the Istanbul takeaway at the junction of Victoria Street and Pasture Street and shouted racial abuse through the open door. The group was challenged by the people inside the shop who went out into the street and a physical altercation ensued. Police were then called and arrived at the scene whilst the disturbance was ongoing. Officers want to speak to any witnesses to all or part of the disturbance and ask that anyone with information contacts Humberside Police on the non emergency number 101 referring to log 8 of 23 February 2013.

Grimsby Town at Mansfield: Liam Hearn not ready for return yet

GRIMSBY Town joint boss Paul Hurst shares his thoughts ahead of tonight's crunch clash at Mansfield Town.

ON TONIGHT'S GAME...

" For us, we know we're going to the team that's top of the form table. They've had seven wins in a row and you don't really get better than that. It will be a big test for us and one that the players will be looking forward to. We've shown some good form over the course of the season and if we go there and get a result, the game is back on. If we don't, what have we lost really? We've lost to the best form team in the league at the minute. For me, it's a great game for us to try and bounce back in. I think in terms of the timing of it and the run they're on it is probably our toughest game so far. The run they've been on is tremendous but it's got to come to an end sometime, so why can't it come to an end tonight with us taking three points?"

ON WHAT A VICTORY WOULD MEAN…

" I believe they're capable of going there tonight and getting a win and the players need to believe that as well and not let one defeat knock them off track. But they were nice and bright in training yesterday and looked sharp. If we did go there and win, it would be another boost for them. But nothing will be decided no matter what happens tonight, but it would be very pleasing if we did take three points."

ON CHANGES AFTER KIDDERMINSTER…

" We haven't picked the team. We've watched the Kidderminster game back on DVD yesterday. Looking back at it, on the day we felt that they had a lot more composed possession than us but when we watched it back, they didn't. Both teams passed the ball well, it was pretty much equal – the only difference was that we gave it back a little bit quicker. But we had some good passages of play and some good chances so it's certainly not all doom and gloom. Kidderminster are a decent side and we all know the run that they've been on, but we did all right. A lot of it came down to fine margins on Saturday. There might be one or two changes but there certainly won't be drastic changes. I don't think we were at our best but I don't think it was a terrible performance."

ON INJURIES…

" Shaun Pearson came through training yesterday and fingers crossed. We need to have a chat with Shaun about how he feels because we don't want to rush him back and risk losing him for longer – that's the last think we want. There's no doubt he's a good player for us but I thought Tom and Ian did alright on Saturday to be honest. Again, we've got decisions to make but we'd rather have the option of making those decisions than be scratching around for players. Other than that, though, we've got no fitness doubts and it's pleasing that we've got a squad of players that are fit and ready to go."

ON DOUGIE WILSON…

" Dougie will come into the squad. He trained with the lads for the first time yesterday. We agreed the deal on Friday but on Saturday, he was still over at Hull so he couldn't play at the weekend but he'll go straight into the squad for tonight. He's comfortable on the ball and is a good size physically. He's also left-footed as well so it gives something a little bit different. I think he can play different ways – he's an all-round midfield player. Part of it will be, if we decide to put him in at whatever stage, what we ask of him, but whatever it is, I think he'll be able to adapt to it."

ON LIAM HEARN…

" He certainly won't be on the bench tonight and I would have thought that Saturday would be too far for him. He's looking sharp, there's no getting away from that but there's one thing being sharp in training but being sharp in a game is different. I'm not sure I'd look sharp but I could join in training whereas I'm nowhere near the level required to get on a bench or start! Liam needs a bit more work and training in his legs and ideally, a run-out of some kind before we introduce him back into first team action."

Grimsby Catholic priest: "It'll take a miracle for new Pope to be elected tonight"

CATHOLICS in North East Lincolnshire nervously await the papal election – which could deliver the result by 8pm tonight.

As the conclave gets underway in Sistine Chapel following the shock resignation of Benedict XVI last month, local Catholics hope the new Pope will 'sort out' the Vatican Government and make stronger links with other leading religions, like Islam.
According to national newspapers there is currently no front-runner for the man tasked with fixing the problems of the Catholic Church, which has 1.2billion members world wide - but these are falling.
Father James Earley of St Pius Church X, in Chelmsford Avenue said: "This is an opportunity for the Catholic Church to look to the future. It is a tough job for anyone and even tougher at this particular time with the economic environment and the fall away numbers of the church.
"He (the new Pope) must have charisma, theology, evangelion and management skills."
The vote started today with a mass in St Peter's Basilica at 10am local time.
Cardinals eligible to vote will enter the Sistine Chapel at 4.30pm where they will remain until one candidate recieves at least 77 votes required for vitory.
But Father Earley thinks it unlikely the new Pope will be elected tonight.
He added: "Unless some sort of miracle takes place it is unlikely he will be elected after the first session. They won't come out with a clear winner tonight, it will be more like tomorrow afternoon."

A DECISION on whether to erect controversial new fencing around the Saltings Allotments is due to be made tomorrow. North East Lincolnshire's planning committee will consider the application by the council to install extra security fencing around the boundary of the site. A number of nearby residents have objected to the application, saying the fencing will be unsightly and intrusive. However, plot holders say the fence is badly needed because the site is constantly plagued by break-ins and vandalism. The application also includes work to resurface the car park and access roads with tarmac, two extensions to the existing allotment building, and a re-roofing of the building. Check www.thisisgrimsby.co.uk for tomorrow's decision.
