have not had enough here to even think about going out and playing, but the bloody schools closed, after an inch, and the main roads where completely clear, this country has gone to the pots, Rick

Going up to Mid Cheshire soon, outlaw visit, from Mid Staffs, so I will be avoiding the M6 anyway, too many foot ball supporters rushing to the northern matches

We will be using the A roads so I will be taking the Mav, just in case we have to use the side roads, as idiots who can't drive in snow block all the roads.

There is also high risk of deep puddles too, as the last of the snow and ice is probably blocking the drains.

By mid Monday, most of it will be gone
