Cars struggling outside my house. Was going to go across the tops to Halifax to pick up M62 for a brief visit to one of my offices before heading to HO. Think I'll go straight there instead.
Not seen the weather, don't know how bad it is or will get, but got my rucksack packed with snow gear, just in case!:thumbup:
A couple of pics from this morning
Up the A59 between Skipton and Harrogate - lots of snow coming down but it's wet stuff and not really settling, on the roads at least!
It'll probably settle on the hills though - might treat meself to a little run tonight!
Its snowing in Masham!:thumbup:
To be fair, its a flurry and unlikely to pitch but its still technically snow.
Some with us this morning. A few cars stuggling to get up the road outside our house. Although this is a bit higher than us, here's a taster of what our neck of the woods is like:

I think it will be a safe bet to say that if you DONT want snow, Preston will be the best place to come to as per usual.
Although on my way to work this morning whilst sat waiting the train to come at the level crossing, a torrential shower of hail put down a good layer and required a 2nd gear start. Enjoyed a good bit of intential understeer on the country lanes just to entertain myself.
Think I might have to avoid the "rural route" to work if it does snow though.
Don't blame you Alf! My understeering is all unintentional and I'll be digging out my winter wheels for my Audi in the next day or so. Can't afford to write another off and the safety of the bridges of rural North Yorkshire is at stake!

A touch of snow over here at dinner time, all melted away now though.
Plenty of ice around today though, saw a bloke on the deck this morning after falling off his bike, looked nasty, ambulance job!
Heavy snow showers off and on here all day. Last one has left a covering of snow even on the roads. Too cold to melt now.
Up the hill it's a bit snowier and had to leave my car up there this morning after walking the dog as I only just made it up (25% gradient plus sharp bends on the steepest bits) as car was squirreling on the bends and then it started snowing again so I had to leave it up there until the road cleared. Wasn't driving down that wiithout good traction. Nice solid yorkshire stone walls to stop the car skidding!!
