    Saturday morning looks like there will be a window in the weather.
    Mrs Cabernet will be on nights Friday through Saturday so will be encourage to take a pass out.

    Wondered about a run up to Lytham?
    Staying near the coast the snow should be clear.

    We were out today and the roads were fine! Decent amount of grip even with new tyres on damp roads. Heard the weathers to be decent on Sat too so have a good one where ever you end up. We'll see if we can make it :)

    Just had a look at the weather charts and Preston way is looking doggy now.
    However, the south looks betterrer, so I think Lynn's Raven Cafe will be the way to go.

    Living Lymm Service at 9am.
    I'll be on an Moto Guzzi imitating an Ex-police Africa Twin on knobbles in blue and white.
    It won't be good off the beaten tracks, so keeping it simple and steady straight down the A49.
    125 "L" friendly.

    Lots of snow very wet and slippery here expected to go sometime late tomorrow when the rain starts - but the temperature should get warmer. Good luck might get out Sunday.

    I have to concede, the weather forecast I have been watching has taken a turn for the worse, but they still predict an over night thaw.

    It's thawing here as predicted.
    It's one of those "Stingray moments"
    Morning will be the telling point.

    Main roads are fine just a bit of slush and the side roads/streets still have quite a bit in them in Northwich
