I would say no chance if you are over that way.  I had friends in Buxton and I know how the roads are around there.
My work travel for the next couple of weeks is all on flat ground so as long as I can get a working temperature even for afternoons, I am hoping to get some work done.  Might have to jug water from the tank and backpack some of it though.

If the roads are ok I'll be working later. I do have to defrost my transfer hose first though. ::)

no snow in Manchester, but in the minus!!

not rushing, just going to wait and see if the temp rises enough to do some, hope so!!

apparently, the cold snap is only this week at the worst, so not too bad.

Spent yesterday afternoon ensuring ALL pipe-work (R.O., transfer pipe, pole-hose, reels, van pipe-work) was all clear of any water. Filled up last night, got my L5, a broom, 25Kg of salt, I'll be giving it a go.

Moved all R.O. pipe-work indoors last night, I'll set the R.O. going in 30 mins after Ive had my brekkie and we'll see what today brings.

not us, one guy off sick, and one van frozen even though it had a heater in it all night!!!! guess that one needs a bigger heater.

Ive decided to go hot! may even go with posidon products to fit us out! had another chat will elliot there last night, I like the fact they fit the flu and modify the van, meaning we can work with the doors shut, also its all done in one day and ready to go, perhaps it is worth spending more with them after all.

If you`re off work, celebrate Christmas Day today and work the 25th December.
I`m on my third selection box and fourth snowball already. Hic!
