Ditto. Just occasional showers while streamers have constantly passed just a few miles to my south.
You watch every single shower pivot at once in the wind, and just keep us in the gap

Although, it looks like the winds are starting to move if I skip forward on the radar. Shifting the showers. Is that in any way accurate?
-
God, just literally been in this gap for 2 solid days!

Remember driving past those drifts at the top of slack hill every day on my way to work in 2013. Epic stuff.
You have a good eye for location The road drift photos were taken on Wirestone Lane, just next to Slack Hill. Shame we don’t get to see those kind of falls anymore!

Insane levels of snow. I remember seeing the pictures and I couldn't believe it. Drifts of 3-4 foot in places!
We have always had mega snow events here, until the last 5 years or so, it’s got really poor. My 5yr old hasn’t seen any of the amounts of snow that my 10yr old has.Yes, it was a lot in 2010. These first three pics are the only photos left on my iCloud from back then.
but to be honest 2013 was even more epic! We got hit at the beginning of the year and then at the end before Xmas. The last 6 pics are a mix of beginning and end of 2013...I’d give anything for snow like that again. It used to be every year.

Didn't Derby and Nottingham get plastered by an Easterly in 2009 or 2010? A mate of mine lives in Derbyshire and he got around 40cm from that Easterly cold spell!
Yes we did, 2010. I was heavily pregnant at the time and got quite nervous. It was mega snow!

When does the wind direction start to change?
-
It feels freezing here! Although I am walking up hills
-
Loads more snow on the hills 5 min walk from our house. Wish it could fall a little lower too!

We are right in the middle of all the streams so far. They are going above and below us. I’m guessing somewhere is getting the amber warning snow, we are just the unlucky guys in the middle of them. Ha ha. It’s snowing here now, but looks like just a short blast according to the radar.

Yeah. I’m enjoying it, but that might be because I feared I’d see nothing at all.
I’ve ran through the latest high resolution models and it does look like the the most significant accumulations for some places should be from this evening into tomorrow morning as the showers keep on coming. Further showers through Tuesday into Wednesday but becoming less frequent.
Any screenshots?
-
Been steady for a few hours now, not much settling though (we’ll certainly not amber warning worthy anyway) Let’s all hope for more activity later!

Fax charts.
What are they showing? (Sorry, I don’t understand the fax chart thing yet! )
-
Got a covering here, but not loads. Not enough to sledge on (although probably better if I walked into nearby high fields I would imagine) light snow coming down steadily now.
-
Still zero here despite being shown under precip the whole time.
jumping the radar forwards now just shows a broken up mess. Met office downgrades showing now too. Gone from 18 hours of heavy snow here, to between 30-50% light snow.
I’m going to bed

It is very strange. Sure you’ll get something yet out this spell. Probably eventually more than here. It’s only just started. Be nice if the whole county got the same dumping just for once ha
Fingers crossed that we all get hammered!

Been falling light/moderate here and it’s getting quite white here.
Always strange when the city gets it and you don’tVery! I’ve found this whole winter very strange so far! We have had nothing from the last two events before this, yet Nottingham got some last time! Usually, when there is snow, we get the most compared to around us. This is the un-snowiest winter (so far) I’ve known since moving here over 20 years ago.

Is there anything falling out the sky or on the ground?
Nope. Nothing at all.
-
Still nothing here, despite having been under darkish blue for about 2 hours on the radar.
-
Very very light snow just starting here, blowing around in the wind, despite having been shown as being under moderate snow on the radar for a while now.

We're right in line for that area pepping up between the wash and humber and already have a light covering. Bring it on
Is it snowing in Alfreton? That’s where I am from. We have no snow yet here in Tansley.
-
We are showing as this on the radar, but still nothing happening.

If anyone can tell me about Wirksworth? Its been on yellow/amber/red blob over an hour nearly. Some kind of peak?
I’m 5 minutes from Wirksworth. That literally always happens. Have no idea why. Always gets stuck showing that and always above Wirksworth. It stays like that for hours, regardless of the weather there. It’s not even snowing at the moment. I wonder if it’s a glitch in the monitoring/radar info they have there?
