Thanks for that. Most of the snowfall here in South Manchester pretty much vanished today.
(Sublimed for the most part.) Odd patches in shady areas still around. Often the real risk on quiet
roads is where a small stream runs over the road. With the temperatures forecast, skating rinks
will be likely !
If the walk goes ahead, it will be by some way the coldest conditions I have encountered. Here's
hoping for a bright sunny day.
