On another note I'm an overgrown child in the snow
Love to be out in it and the wife goes mental, more so if we're up in Dunkeld (my folks have property there) and I want to head up the A9 to the hills or Cairngorms way (that's why I always run winter alloys & tyres on my cars)!
Feb 2020 was great; plenty of snow up there. I'm into powerlifting/weightlifting/stone lifting & strongman etc; so took advantage on the Tuesday of the week we were there whilst the weather was calm to get to Dalwhinnie to lift one of the Manhood stones. It wasn't snowing at Dunkeld; it was at Dalwhinnie
I dug it out of 3ft of snow
I love the snow on weekends only when I don't have to go anywhere and can't wait to go out to play
Then Monday when I'm back at work I'm moaning wanting it to go

Yeah I'm pretty sure Preston had a deep cover in 2010 of close to a foot. And I don't even live there haha. There is a youtube video of Granada reports about the snow in 2010 and on it there's an elderly lady in Preston looking out of her window saying she hasn't seen snow like it since she was young. I think Kevin (weather history) posted it a while back.
We had a decent amount when I lived in s Yorkshire

Yes and an after thought which causes problems with schooling when your child really cant cope in mainstream. It was suggested to us that said child, goes to a school just on the fringes of Chesterfield, 1hr 25 mins away and really problematic to get to when it snows over the snake or A623.
We chose a school in Oldham thats 11.5 miles from Hadfield rather than the 33.5 miles keeping within Derbyshire.
That sounds really confusing .
When we step outside and cross road on the left it's tameside, go right and it's Stockport
When you go over woodhead it says Derbyshire, then a sign your in Barnsley, South Yorkshire

Administratively Derbyshire is a Midlands county, an East Midlands one to be precise. That's how government departments and agencies classify it.
Culturally, it's more complicated. Derby and the southern areas of the county, south of county town Matlock are very much part of the industrial Midlands.
Go to Chesterfield and north east Derbyshire, however, and you're in the Sheffield sphere of influence and that's the north. Go to north west Derbyshire and Buxton and especially Glossop and you're in the Manchester sphere of influence. Again that's the north.
Go up to Crowden camping site and you're as far north as Manchester and not far from the West Yorkshire boundary. Even Matlock is an hour's drive and Derby seems like it's in another region.
Haha yes it's Derbyshire. Glossop is just in the middle of Yorkshire and Lancashire wanting to cause confusion

Technically, @Had Worse, @WillinGlossop and @SNOW_JOKE are in the East Midlands and the sliders have missed us 9 out of 10 times. The latest was last Sunday. 37 miles away in Ashbourne, and 55 miles away in Derby, they had 5-6" of the white stuff. We had about 5 or 6 flakes.
Glossop is definitely not east Midlands. I go through there from Manchester to Sheffield.

I'm a dirty immigrant from the other side of the country, and a Newcastle fan (least I'm not from Yorkshire). A relief that they don't get brought up much in this thread though... looking forward to another defeat tonight, hopefully enough to get the Donald Trump of football sacked. Circling this back to the conversation of weather, there's a slight chance of snow falling on pitch during that match, could be the most interesting thing about it....
Got the dreaded cold rain here at the minute though, but at least something is falling from the sky.
Cough I'm from Yorkshire!

Just drove to Salford Royal and back, i noticed areas around sale/Trafford still had lying snow in shaded areas and on golf courses.
here higher up in my part of Tameside its all melted, apart from the hills. I'm just in the snow warning, so maybe will see a few flakes.
It's all gone here in Stockport and back home in tameside. Very light drizzle here at moment..

Upon further inspection after venturing out on the school run, it is very dry powdery stuff here, could stick around most of the day in sheltered spots. Still ice cold here.
Yes, I expect it be melted in Stockport with the sun today. Lovely blue skies though
