Default Stupid or not to travel up north?

Seeing that the snow is coming back, i was supposed to go to lake district this weekend coming from London way, could everyone let me know what the weather is up there or approaching and how the road conditions are?

Looked at the weather forecast but they all seem different from the sites.

Thanks in advance.

Hmm..! It was just that I'm in London and it was mentinoed it will snow here, nothing major and Down south was supposed to have a lot of snow early on the week but no snow, seems the forecasters have been a bit unpredictable which is why i asked.

North West, where the Lake District is is fairly clear! Ive been to Morecambe last night from east cheshire and never saw any snow.

AFAIK the heavy snow was on the east coast and norfolk.

Travelling North is never stupid: staying in the South on the other hand.....

north west side of the country is clear (according to weather reports), however travelling to the north west may be difficult as you tend to find a general migration from the south up there

No snow at all my bit of Staffordshire / Cheshire. M6 was clear when I crossed it this morning and only mention of a bit of drizzle on the local forecasts.

Same here as well, I'm about 60 miles South of the lakes and all the snow is now gone. We were up there on Sunday and it was snowing very heavily, but we still made good progress coming back.

Maybe that's cos us Northerners are used to snow EVERY winter though and don't find it newsworthy
