Just come over the 623 through Stoney as traffic news said pass shut. Steady light snow all the way. Wouldn't fancy climbing at curbar :/ only a covering on the ground but only -1 so may melt instead of brushing off (if someone could copy to eastern edges conditions report?)

Can confirm I'm in manchester and alive after risking it for a biscuit and going via A57. It's not closed and there's a fair amount of traffic going through at pretty much normal speed. Was a bit concerned by the light snow in sheffield but it didn't materialise into anything.

There are a couple of bits that might get icy if the temp drops massively, it's wet and salty at the sheffield end (make sure screenwash works, it's filthy out there) and there are ice signs around snake top and on the steepest bend before it but it's not bad, lots of people on it keeping it clear.

Another thing, the road from A57 towards Bamford is supposed to be uncleared, covered in snow and dangerous according to the highways agency, looked pretty clear to me and there was traffic going up and down it.

edit: No queues at Mottram, glossop was a lot less busy than a normal weekend too.

Anyone know if the Snake is open. BBC doesnt say anything..I dont really trust the various travel websites..do they cover a non priority road?
