I wasn't expecting sun, sun, sun up here in Mancester but I wasn't expecting wall to wall snow either.
Arrived on Monday afternoon and it was cold but not icy. Monday night it snowed. Six to eight inches (15/20 cms) of the stuff. It was so bad neither my brother or sister in law even bothered trying to get to work. I haven't seen snow like this since 1963, which you will remember was the year it started snowing on Boxing Day and continued until a couple of days before Easter. Now I am only here in Manchester for a week, I was going to return to Torquay next Monday but given that the met office are saying this cold snap could last weeks, I could end up on holiday for longer than expected.
Remember when it is like this, if you don't have to drive then don't.

Yes Dave. We have a friend in Manchester said the snow was knee deep where they are and they can't get out to buy food, etc and schools are closed. Sounds serious alright! - Dave
Once people had got over the intial shock trafic is moving along the main roads OK but side roads could be icy for weeks. Depends if you live on a main road or not. Been cold though minus 11C last night.
