Through the mysterious means of t'interweb we now can keep in contact with our transpennines chums and so ascertain the snow position on t'other side of t'pennines without having to set off and risk life and limb....

Sheffield this morning looks fine - next to no snow on the ground, tiny bit in the fields but not much, Halifax too has a light smattering but nothing really bad - all major routes clear.

The snake pass however, is closed this morning...

Seems like Manchester South is really bad. THe lad who sits opposite me comes from Oldham and says its allright there. I left work at 2 and had to abandon ship in Netherthorpe - which will be the last I see of me motor I suspect, with the walk from there it took me a cool 3 hours to get home from halifax. Housemate 4 took 4.5 hours from huddersfield, housemates 2 & 3 both got turned back from their transpennine activities this morning.

Dunno bout tomorrow (thursday) I may work from home.
