Snake Pass

[Blown2CV]

my commute has changed and now if I drive I am looking at either snake or woodhead pass most days. Anybody else have to do this in Winter?? Some brown trouser moments already and it's only week 3.

I thought they close those routes when it gets too bad ?

they do yea. The Glossop information site is very comprehensive on all the info to help people make the decision to use if the route is open. I went on the other day and it was fine except a few very hairy patches indeed, as in more or less dry roads but then you'd round a bend at 50mph and hit a 75 yard patch of lying snow.

it's annoying that they've made it all 50 now too
