Derbyshire_snow

Very cold in Buxton currently it is only 6.6c at 340m Asl with a dew point of -4.5 http://www.buxtonweather.co.uk/

I gained Brad £147 apparently i'm a red hot meteorologist

In Washington North Carolina 18 inches of rain has fell already watching fox news now that's incredible the entire towns flooded.

It snowed on the 24th aswell i was on my way to Porthmadog from Llandudno through Llanberis and up through Pen-y-pass where it was only 8c!! it was snowing on the top of Snowdon from what i could tell it was quite a shock to see it to be honest.

I wasn't expecting much if any snow certainly not the amount we have seen anyway, it's still snowing can't see it lasting much longer however, just had a phone call saying that their is traffic chaos yet again in some parts of Sheffield as the gritters haven't been out here yet again.

These picctures were taken 20 minutes go from my house in Dronfield Derbyshire and it's still snowing.

well over 40 mine will be near on the same as The Pits as he doesn't live that far from me.

I took a picture of Snowdon & the mountains at the Otherside of Llanberis i think one was Carnedd Llwellyn that had a patch of snow left at the top.

Not only that it's 1100 feet above sea level aswell.

Well i will be astounded if it is 27.4c in Buxton at the minute like it says it is.

According to http://www.buxtonweather.co.uk/ is is 26.8c in Buxton at the minute :blink: surely that can't be right it was 26.9 at one point.

According to the station at www.buxtonweather.co.uk the max temp reached there yesterday was 25.1c not sure how accurate that is even that tempreture reading seems abit high for Buxton. According to the weather station at Buxton aswell it's already been up to 24.1c but dropped back to 23.2c at the moment.

Here are a selection photos that i took of Mt Snowdon & the surrounding mountains on Wednesday May the 12th

* Pictures now posted.

I was driving through the top of Ringinglow in Sheffield about & hour ago the conditions were horrendous temp of 1c Blizzard conditions and fog at the top reducing visibility to less than 50m the grass & trees were covered in Snow even the roads were starting to cover aswell.

It's Snowing on the hills around Buxton now aswell

Their has been at least a patch of snow up on the moors at Ringinglow near Sheffield since Mid December.

Went through Ringinglow and past Stanedge edge then round to the Top of Fox house it was snowing lightly up their the temp was 2.5c.

Move to Buxton t always gets pasted by snow and if my memory serves me right there has been at least some snow around the Hills of Buxton since Mid December they even had 5 days of Snowfall in November the jammy sods.

what's going off here it was snowing really heavily here now it's turned really light :excl:

There is at least 10cm in Dronfield Derbyshire there is a report on the sheffield forum of 18cm of Snow in Bakewell. :blink

I cleared my path yesterday of ice and snow only for it to turn to thick ice after freezing rain it was like an ice slide this morning it was lethal, not to mention the roads where horrendous it was that icy on Delves Road in Killamarsh you could have gone down the road in a bobsleigh it was terrible i tried doing a 3 point turn on there and i was skidding all over the place. The only heart stopping moment of today for me was at Morrisons garage at Halfway the silly chuffs had not gritted the road that bends round into the petrol station on my way back out of the petrol station i tried to go round the corner i couldn't even steer the car and went straight on into the curb. What made me angry was they had gritted every other part of Morrisons car and the roads leading to it so why not on a dangerous corner into the petrol station. :unsure: As for you having a better covering than Worksop it's hardly suprising as Worksop is alot more built up than Cresswell. :unsure:

My Mum and Dad live in Dronfield it's just starting to snow again here.

Look's like all the main routes into the peak district from Sheffield are going to be cut off soon i have just been up to fox house the wind is whipping up the snow and has buried the walls the snow is now blowing onto the roads i dare say it won't be long before the roads get completely blocked. I know from previous experience how bad it can get after getting stuck up at Owler bar after a lorry had jacknifed and hit the snow drift that had blocked the road, mountain rescue had to dig us out would you believe.

Mark anything can happen look at last night i wasn't expecting any snow at all yet we had 2 heavy snow showers that left a decent covering again on the roads aswell.
