Pretty much fine. Few small isolated spots of ice but nothing major.

Thinking of checking out Gardoms on Sunday having never been before. Is it likely to have a worthwhile amount of things dry to try (in the 6a-7a range?)

I reckon there will be dry rock to be found. There was yesterday, and the only precipitation last night was frost.

Hard frost in the Hope Valley this morning - although it has clouded over a little in the last hour.

Despite the fog, conditions were quite good today. However, it started snowing in the afternoon. Burbage is a blanc page once more.

Just driven through peak on way home from work in manc. There's a light covering of fairly damp snow - doesn't look good.

After last night there's more snow at Stanage, Burbage and Higgar making most stuff un-climbable.

A bit further south the trackside boulder at Curbar was dry but GW etc. all wet.

Mark's roof area also quite damp at Gardoms.

Mostly dry, but damp streaks/ patches. Sunny aspects best bet.

Heading to the Peak tomorrow, am I going to be disappointed? Should I head elsewhere?

There was no snow around wetherby when I drove past today - so 'Cliff & bits of yorkshire near there would be OK I recon..

Hmmm, nothing in particular I was thinking of trying. As long as there's a chance of finding dry rock in the 7's (and maybe 8's) I'll be happy, got all day to sniff out the dryness.

Congleton Knoll was covered in damp snow tonight. Needs at least three days of fine weather before I'd bother tbh

was pretty good yesterday, though some bits were damp from melt water, but it was drying quickly.
