The road was apparently closed to lorries earlier today.

Nothing on Winter Hill above Bolton (and I took a good hard look),
which is 456m so not quite high enough on this occaison.

I think today was one of those days that was meteorological
unusual given the track of the low and the central pressure
reading rather than any really unusual weather conditions.
Sure, it was wet, windy, cold, raw and very unpleasant but
nothing that the general public would think of as being
anything out of the ordinary for this time of year.

Nothing too remarkable down here Col, less windy and not as wet as I had
expected. I didn't quite get my record low but it was noticeably colder
than I expected.Temp was 5C at midday and remained below 6C all day so
I'm not surprised there was snow on higher ground up your way.
