Husband's gone over Winnats this morning, it's snowing/hailing like mad in Stockport. Woodhead has an overturned lorry, weather is atrocious over t'other side of Pennines, mobile signal is not stable.
Husband's advice is, "If you don't need to travel this way then stay at home, he wishes he had!"

I'm soaked, cold and miserable, so I'd just like to thank our wonderful council bosses who make me park my car a mile away from where I work, just for my own good of course. I shall be thinking of them as I sit here in my wet clothes all morning, and again tonight when I make the return trek; and I'm sure they'll be thinking of me as they get out of their Mercs in their private free car park and struggle the 2 yards to the door of their offices.

Over the other side of t'Pennines the weather's improving but, it's very windy still.
If you're thinking of venturing over, Woodhead is now closed, Winnats is O.K., M62 very dodgy due to the strength of the winds and the lorries who travel whatever the weather, take care and only go if you really have to!

Walked down from Ecclesall to Millhouses this morning to get to work and I am soaked, wind rain hail so you should thank your lucky stars that you have a car at all!

Hope Valley seems a bit calmer than it was earlier. Still quite a wind out there though so wrap up if coming this way.

I've lost the rubber-backed doormat from outside my back door so the wind's certainly been stronger than before because previously it never moved!
