Default Snow free roads for the 17th please

.... hoping for no snow to be actually falling on 17th Dec so we can get to our house from Ancona airport. Last year arrived on 18th Dec, having been warned about snow. There was nothing at the coast but it got steadily worse as we headed inland. 6 miles from the house, we were the only car sliding on the dark roads and thought we were going to have to abandon car....... somehow we slithered up the hills and round the bends and got to our house. Woke up the next morning to 1 - 1.5 ft of snow outside, very beautiful! All the better when viewing it from indoors!

Default We've had a sprinkling...

... but it's in Cheshire on the edge of the Peak District. Minus seven this morning when I went to work - minus one when I arrived in Liverpool which felt positively balmy!

Hi Arty,
Just taken a picture of the mountains so that you can see how the snow is coming along - it's looking good!
See you soon
