Aye, I set off from Mam Tor carpark early (8.15) and crested Brown Knoll at 9.00 just as the blizzard started. Glad of balaclava, mitts and flapjack. Bailed out from doing the full round after 2 hrs at Grindslow Knoll when I got a call to say the folk I was planning to meet at Ringing Roger (you know who you are!) were still sat in front of the fire sipping hot chocolate in Hayfield!
Well, there you go OB1. The girls did the WHOLE route on Saturday, no sipping of hot choccy in front of fires for us.
Running in the snow all day yesterday recceing BG leg 4 - about 3 inches hit the Lakes on Saturday night. It was a bit tricky spotting the trods, & we were slipping all over the place! Great views later on once the cloud started lifting though.
Snowing at sea level in Angus
Got it blowing in here, too, but it's immediately melting.

Gradually working its way down south: currently snowing in Newcastle.

Full on blizzard up at Ilton and snowing steadily in Masham...my run today was a little different to Friday's 28miler complete with sunburn and river swim!
Some wintery stuff blowing about in the rain here :thunbdown:

Sleeting on tops above Ripponden, enough to give the dog a white coat.
