Not good, M74 was very slow today. Temps forecast for -8 next two nights, unlikely to improve. If you go, take some blankets, a flask and a shovel. HTH.

Well the M6 is ok right up to it goes off onto the glasgow motorway bit but couldnt vouch for the actual getting into the city.

Far as i could tell from Manchester to lakedistirct then carlise then to lanarkshire the weather had been the same all over nowehre was really any worse in fairness.

windsor i was up aberdeen earlier in the year jan feb time when the snowfalls came really bad and it was our weekend home so we decided to go for it ,if we had took notice of the news we would have still been stuck there now, when we got on the motorways it was bad at the sides but the actual carriageways were spot on we sailed through as normal all the way too sheffield, if its any consolation i dont think it will be as bad as you think. ps hope the old fellow gos on ok
