Zoom into a place called Wirksworth (south of Matlock) and play the radar ... it maybe a radar error on anomaly but there's a small blob of torrential snow which hasn't moved for 2 hours?  If you are under that it must be dumping meters.

I’m 5 mins from Wirksworth (I’m in another village in Matlock) and have been there to have my hair done earlier. Me and the hairdresser were laughing about the orange/yellow blob stuck over the map. There was nothing coming down at all! I keep noticing it’s still there when checking the radar for here. Must be a glitch?

Welcome! Beware, though, living up there you'll have to get used to plenty of "normal" winters when most of us are jealous of your snow and the rest of us have cold sleety rain.

Thanks for the welcome  

Yes, we are often quite lucky up here if there is snow to be had. 

The strangest thing I’ve found about this weather happening is how it’s hit places who don’t normally get as much as us. Notts got a load before we did and yet usual winters we end up with double what Notts do. It’s been a very strange week to watch unfold!

Hi, newbie here  Been lurking since the beginning of this Beast from the East  

I’m in Matlock in the Derbyshire Dales. We had a lot of snow earlier this week. Nothing today so far, but MO has just given out heavy snow for the next 3 hours here.
