The trouble is the gutter press media don't help like the express with their ridiculous snow articles so when a real event comes along people just dismiss it a lot of the time. This is the worst snow we have had since BFTE and will more than likely surpass it and will be the biggest fall of snow for 13 years.

Good advice reports of big queue of traffic stuck on the A623 and all roads out of Buxton now closed so it is effectively cut off. Drifting snow is the main danger and what could prove deadly so many people stuck out there wouldn't be surprised if it makes the news with the amount of people being silly and getting stuck.

We always seem to do well in these scenarios last one I can remember was the 2010 fall where band after band just kept hitting us we ended up with 2ft+ of snow my car was buried for a Week. Won't be anywhere near that due to the time of year and warmth In the ground at this level but a few mile up the road above 300m could be looking at 40-50cm I would say.

I think evaporative cooling and the sheer Intensity of the snow did it unfortunately for me I just so happened to be on a journey that would usually take 20-25 mins took about 2 hours and resulted in several crashes thankfully no serious damage to my car or others. It was that bad cars getting stuck at the lights were rolling backwards down the hill into other cars.

Please don't remind me of that I was in Sheffield the heaviest snow I can recall. Literally went from clear roads to completely covered in the space of 2 miles and the roads turned to ice rinks pretty much straight away. Never seen anything like it cars crashing into each other like dodgems as there was no grit on the roads.
