Terrible weather has made marching conditions extremely difficult. The Scots army remained bogged down in snow drifts somewhere in Scotland. In the north little seemed to stir except Byron took several thousand men from Chester and marched slowly through the peak district.
In the East Midlands, Fairfax and Manchester lay low but sent cavalry patrols north and west.
Maurice took several thousand cavalry south from Shrewsbury.
Elsewhere troops shivered and waited. And ships risked sailing north into the Scottish highlands and islands....
