Does anyone know if Snake Pass is passable as I need to make it over to Sheffield around lunchtime tomorrow?

Woodhead shut today as well, local butcher was rather anxious as the turkeys haven;t arrived, they're coming over from Yorkshire

No mention of Woodhead on that site so presumably open. Check on RAC and AA websites tomorrow too. But generally they keep the Woodhead open in all weathers. And there's always the M62.

I wouldn't count on the back road from Glossop to the Woodhead being open if the Snake is closed, so you might well have to back up as far as Mottram anyhow (that's what happened last time I had to come back down off the hill with a few hundred other vehicles following a police land rover anyway - and the Woodhead was fine on that occasion).

john i heard on radio earlier that woodhead was passable with care but traffic was bad between tintwistle and flouch, not sure which direction though, you could go over towards chapel then chesterfield road and grindleford which i know is a long way round but is usually better,

Looks like a phone call to re arrange my Glossop appointment for the New Year and use the M62.

Thanks for all your help, I love you all
