Going up to Mid Cheshire soon, outlaw visit, from Mid Staffs, so I will be avoiding the M6 anyway, too many foot ball supporters rushing to the northern matches
We will be using the A roads so I will be taking the Mav, just in case we have to use the side roads, as idiots who can't drive in snow block all the roads.

There is also high risk of deep puddles too, as the last of the snow and ice is probably blocking the drains.

By mid Monday, most of it will be gone
