That’s crazy sadly somebody wouldn’t have listened to the warnings either
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.

Wow
It is bad enough here on the edge of the Peaks so you can see how bad it is out there and sticks and there is ment to be another 10 straight hours of snow here be well over a foot by dinner time at this rate here and pushing 50cm+ on the highest ground.

Many 4x4 enthusiasts and some locals farmers trying to help out on the main roads and will be through the night I would expect here. Lots of cars will be abandoned come morning.
So many people unprepared I had to help a van out that had got stuck in Sheffield I had a bag of grit and snow shovel and managed to get him out that was my good deed for the day.
If I had a 4x4 I would help anyone in need.

The wind chill and air filled with snow where you have a job to breath is enough..
It was bad enough at top of Dronfield I had to turn back. Must be 25cm easy there now and that was 2 hours ago it was whipping up and it was difficult to see dread to think how bad it is your way.

You are just 10 metre higher than us and probably a difference of you having a few cm more snow, although that picture looks like further up Hady Lane where the school is
As per your last post.....looks a bit dodgy around the hospital entrance
Its the highest part around 150m at its highest.

Blizzards continue here, please don't travel. Many cars are stuck and stranded in extreme conditions.
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.

A53 impassable and probably closed, looks like a huge amount of snow has drifted onto the road looking from the winking man webcam. Still snowing and drifting there too and a lot more to come later. Earlier today there was an accident up there too, just down the road from the webcam. Dangerous stuff.

Keep an eye out for band of heavier precipitation forming just north of Birmingham heading due north straight over Derby and heading straight for Sheffield looks like plenty more to come

Looks like by the end of this in the highest parts of Sheffield it will be the deepest snow in 13 years even deeper than the BFTE!

This was an hour ago travelling back from Crystal Peaks to Dronfield this was from Manor top to Bochum Parkway in Sheffield.

Crazy that's only 5 miles up from here and it was all rain when it passed. Boundary must be edging south.
See that all the time here in Sheffield the varying weather all over the city is madness.
If you didn't live in Sheffield you could easily get caught out the difference in 1 or 2 mile can be very big.

I'm going for a snow walk shortly up the lane when I've finished my cups, there's so much snow in the air, proper blizzard conditions now here. Will try and take some pictures.
It is bad enough in the higher Sheffield suburbs 20cm easily at 200m so you must be at 1ft+ easily now.

Just been for a drive up the lickey hills to be greeted to heavy sleet but deep snow
Always remember driving up there from King's Norton to the Lickey Hills and the Monument car park there was no snow anywhere in Birmingham apart from at the top where it was covered lovely place in the snow.

Still only light here, it's actually melting faster than it's falling!
Van has been on the drive 6 hours now and the layer that built up with this afternoon's heavy spell around half 4 is almost gone. Windscreen is just a thin layer of slush now
I am not suprised looks like lower ground in Sheffield is going to sturggle for accumulated snow unless it really gets heavy.
Just been from Dronfield to Crystal Peaks the difference is ridiculous there is about 15cm level snow on Dronfield where as at Crystal Peaks lucky if there is a few cm.

youve stolen my snow as the band went north of here leaving just a few heavy showers
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.

Oh yeah could go up to 50cm then!
I wouldn't be surprised the conditions are horrendous its literally not stopped snowing since this morning.
Judging by the radar it looks like the gap is going to close so it may not stop at all before the next batch hits.
I am going to walk to top of the hill in a bit and see what it is like.

Current view gonna take a walk when the heaviest snow gets here I have a feeling if it all pans out we could end up with over a ft of snow in Dronfield providing there is no rise in tempretures.

We had to drive back from Burton to Liverpool that night. I remember it caught the pros out and weather apps were showing 3C and rain while it was heavy snow outside.
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.

Think yorkshire is in sweet spot looking at this
Looking at that reminds me of the 2010 fall of snow when bands and bands of snow kept coming and we ended up with 2ft of snow.
