The Peak District is home to a wide variety of magnificent hills, moors, outcrops and gritstone edges.

Update has snow/blizzard above 200m will be interesting but I’m not so sure on the snow

Looks like those above around 300m could see a few centimetres of snow tomorrow, but will likely be turning back to rain later on in the day even at that elevation. Lovely cold rain for here. Blizzards certainly on the cards for higher parts of the region. Trans Pennine routes likely to become highly hazardous and no go routes for a period of time.

Yes I think circa 300m upwards will be the snowline. Might be a bit lower than this further north toward the north Pennines and Lakes. But for 99% of us it will just be cold rain and a nasty wind to go with it. How fun webcams should be interesting places like M62 summit, cat and fiddle, Flash etc.

Could be powercuts due to severe icing on the transmission lines over the tops coupled with the wind strength.

I can see us getting maybe up to 1 hour of wet snow on low ground perhaps given the low DPs at the beginning. I’m not ruling that out yet.

Rain so far here, but not surprising in a westerly.  Hail usually happens too, but not this evening.

I'm quite surprised by the ice warning for here, as the winds will be notably westerly-south westerly all night I think? They're gusting now a little, and that doesn't generally lead to ice right on the coast here. Maybe they'll die off, and allow a ground frost, but there is not much chance of an air frost here with this direction of wind, unless it turns straight southerly.

Shame tomorrow’s snow ❄️  will only be a high ground affair now as however transient it would have provided some real wintry interest what with heavy wet snow & blizzard conditions rather than the cold, wet ☔️ & windy day in prospect for many tomorrow as Storm Barra arrives. 
 

Remaining on the cold & unsettled side through to Friday. Turning milder perhaps at the weekend but for how long? Xmas period into late month may well begin to provide some interest - reminds me a bit like Dec 2012 that flipped ‘properly’ cold into the New Year the UK is in the game for proper cold this Winter more so than the NE USA/ Canada are but we may well as per usual have to play the long game for it. 

Reminds me more of 2008, when we flipped to cold on Christmas Day after a mild run in to christmas, might arrive 2/3 days earlier this year..

Yep a bit surprise no Hail or graupel this evening here, don’t know why.

Wind will be backing SSE after midnight ahead of the low so could go quite close to freezing for a time.

Yeah remember vaguely it being a fairly good winter we had some snow follow quite quickly into early Jan 2009 followed by milder weather then the early Feb 09 very cold & snowy spell from the east (think a lot of the SE wouldn't mind another Feb 1st/2nd 2009 snowmageddon rerun  we had about 5cm or so here so snow but nothing like what they saw down south and to the east of the region - easterlies generally are a disappointment across low level NW perhaps the only exception being the BFTE in Feb/ March 2018) ❄️

Yeah that area near Preston seems pretty rubbish for snow but is it the "worst?" Probably Cornwall, parts of Devon and coastal west Wales are I'd say. But you can argue that the likes of Devon can get channel lows so once a blue moon they get an almighty dumping which skews the thinking but then it can be completely snow free for years without a flake. Whilst round here is hardly Cairngorm ski resort we don't do too badly really, never had a completely snow free winter, even the god awful 2013/14 winter we managed a light cover one evening in the February. I'd say the Oldham, Rochdale and Tameside areas of Greater Manchester are about mid way in the snow table for the UK so not in the upper end but could be a lot worse. Being a long way inland and further east certainly helps, away from that moderating influence of the Irish sea.
