Last night the first snow of the season settled in Crosspool.
By this morning the pavements and roads were lightly covered. At 8am, it had turned to slush on the main road through the precinct and on Manchester Road. Some light snow was still falling.
There is no snow on the ground once you get past Shore Lane, however it is still very wet and quite slippery so be careful if you are heading out.
