I haven’t ventured out too far today – just walked into the village, so this isn’t a complete picture.

As far as I know:

• We’ve had around 10cm/4 inches of snow.
• The trains out from Manchester to Gatley aren’t currently running
• No planes are coming in or out of Manchester Airport at least until noon and the airport warns that some of the approach roads are difficult to pass.
• Lots of people walking into the village – all the snow makes the pavements less slippery, for now at least.
• The roads I’ve seen are passable with care in a car, though some people are having problems on the hills.
• Most of the local schools appear to be closed
• There’s no refuse or recycling collection today
