Rode through the plantation about 1ish and it looked pretty damp. Little wind. Some guys appeared to be climbing on the pebble, but it didn't look dry to me.

I went to the Buckstone around half 2 and it was all dry, I daresay some of the plantation stuff may have dried out later on in the day.

Burbage north was mainly dry, just a few drainage streaks, but despite being about 3.5deg C it wasn't especially in good nick due to lack of wind.

Judging by conditions in Totley this morning I’d guess there might be ice on some of the rock up there and wind chill is likely to be grim. Probably good nick on the dry bits later if you can handle the nither.
I’d be more inclined to go somewhere lower and more sheltered personally.

Burbage South Quarries were quite good today. All the problems dry although Trellis looked abit damp. Little gem e.t.c all dry.
Leotard legend and zorev are good bets for stating dry when it snows...

Yep, managed to nip out just before dark and Stanage was mostly dry. In the lee of the wind too even though it was howling at  the popular end layby. Even mild enough for routes  :)

Anyone got any science as to whether or not West Side Story, Stump Hole Cavern or Mossatrocity will be dry before Monday?

mossa is alright in the snow although the top can get icy which is a problem but handwarmers and a rag should clear and dry it off.
Would say West Side would be pretty icy but could be ok.
Stump Hole I imagine would be fine.

Just read that again. Last time the road to the Popular end was clear, but not to the Plantation.

Just been out there in my mates 4x4. Ringinglow road is quite clear in places but some big drifts coming across too. We got just past Burbage N car park, towed a couple of stuck 4x4s out of the verge and came back. There was a Ford Focus at the Burbage N layby but I wouldn't fancy it myself.
In better news, there are some massive drifts, the first buttress at Burbage was almost buried, potential for some good snowballing this week I think

Thanks for the local info, if anyone gets to the plantation tomorrow and notices if careless torque is snow free can they post it up.
Cheers :yes:
