I'm going up to Casterton fell this weekend. Looking out of the Window, there's some flakes about (not least sitting in this chair!).

I was wondering if anyone knows what the fells are looking like today?

It's just so I know if I'm going to have to walk the lane from the flowerpot sign at the bottom. I've done it before from Barbon, so know both routes.

I can't see the Dales being that great when there's 2cm snowflakes going past my window in Sheffield at only 80m AOD. And another digging trip cancelled - gah!

We had to bin off the surveying today at Monyash.

Apparently Glyn is picking me up in ten mins to go meet Wayne in Castleton! Not to go caving I'm glad to say. I think he's just trying to prove a point ;)

It's always worse there. That's why we're here! Anyway, he's almost arriving - if you don't hear from me again you can have all my 'electric Miles Davis' albums  :sneaky:

Not had anywhere near what was forecast - roads near us (near Marton's) are icy but not covered in inches of snow.

Seem to be more road problems around the Peak than the Dales, although Shap & aound Leeds both affected.

Thanks Jane, I think I'll suck it and see!
Is it thick ice? or just a tad more than black ice?

The A65 is clear but the roads off it haven't been gritted. I haven't ventured onto the Ingleton side but the roads between Ingleton and Bentham were rather exciting an hour ago, especially the downhill stretches with bends at the bottom.
