    Just a few pics taken up in the hills of Oldham/ Saddleworth today of blocked lanes, the drifts are pretty impressive, a couple of metres in places. I feel sorry for the poor bloke who has lost his land rover though, might be a while before he gets it back lol. Anyway, hope you enjoy.......

    Great pictures there, serious amounts of snow.

    I have just taken a few this afternoon, the snow plough that i saw turned round because the road had dissappeared under the snow drift. :doh:

    Thanks for sharing.

    Lol. I think it would be a tad optimistic for me to buy some snow shoes, but imagine the looks i would get walking down the street with a pair of dunlop rackets on my feet!

    Ooo get you!

      Exceptional warmth for western Europe as October begins

      There'll be exceptionally warm temperatures for the time of year affecting much of western Europe during the coming days, but that warmth will only graze the UK for now. Next weekend may see a more direct hit with the potential for southerly winds to draw some of that heat north and take temperatures into the mid or high-twenties. Read the full update here
