Be safe with your impending snowfall Ruth- I bet your local Tesco is busy with folk stocking up, round here if there was half an inch of snow the shops would be cleared. |

You see lots of folks pulling their shopping home on a sledge. The farmers all go to Tesco in their tractors, it's a funny sight seeing the car park with rows of tractors. |

It looks lovely across the valley, about 6 to 7 inches now. The snow plough keeps going passed, the farmers are all out with their tractors trying to keep the main roads open. I notice the buses to Rochdale stopped hours ago so the spot where I took the frozen reservoir pic yesterday is most likely blocked. Stops the Lancastrians sneaking over the border |
