I'm near J27. Got off at J26 about an hour ago, as I wondered if the big hill going up to 27 would be full of struggling vehicles.

Where exactly are you stuck?

Was just going to say, I've had a look on the cameras, and sure enough there is bugger all after J28. OP, I'm not taking the piss now, I'll bring you down a flask if you need a brew, and some toast/ butties. I'm within ten minutes walk if you're at J27.

We are about 2 miles north of J27. Moved a little bit but there are loads of trucks stuck.

Hoping this rain will wash away some of the snow.

Anyone know if J27 is open?

Really appreciate that! Can I bank it? hehe

Hoping to come off at J27 if we can.

The frustrating thing is we did 200 miles from Edinburgh and although it was bad all the way down at least we were moving.

Lancashire as a whole seems to be completely knackered! Shocking forward planning with regards to road treatment round these parts TBH.

Mrs Barbon Star and her mate are currently facing a night sleeping in their car as the M61 just north of Bolton is impassible! Lots of cold and worried people out there.

Hope you get moving quickly, not sure where you're heading to but should you be passing by Chorley/Euxton/Leyland way I'd be more more than happy to top you up with tea or coffee.

That's a serious offer by the way as I'm so furious and worried about the girl that I can't sleep!

Excellent! Thanks.

We are heading to just off J23 so will trek through Wigan.

Moved a bit more. Less than a mile to J27. Rain very heavy.

Update soon!
