And as I drove to Manchester Airport first thing this morning (5.55 am) they mentioned that the Snake Pass was closed. But I cannot find a statement about that. Sorry.

i was in glossop over the weekend there is a foot of snow there in the valley, so up on snake and woodhead i'm guessing is impassable
