In reply to Guy Chater:
I doesn't take long to discover that PLANNING winter climbing in the Lakes is largely a waste of time! It isn't likely to be doing anything useful weather-wise over the foreseeable future I'm afraid.

Might be a sprinkling of snow to make it look pretty but it would be surprising if there were to be anything remotely like winter climbing conditions. Having said that, there's so much water about that if there were a sudden cold snap there would be masses of ice! Dream on...
I see you're a relative novice looking at soloing. If there is snow the best things you could go for would be the Striding Edge/Swirral Edge circuit and Jack's Rake.
