Default [OBS] Tideswell, Derbyshire - Fri 4th Mar 2016


Slight to moderate snow all afternoon. It's been
snowing now for about 16 hours, with another 12 hours or so
to come. With the temp creeping up to a high of +1.1 in
the afternoon there's been a bit of melting but not much.
At the moment there's 16cm of lying snow. Treated roads
are clear but untreated roads and pavements are affected
by hard-packed snow and slush. It'll be a real mess if it
freezes overnight.


Very strange day here Norman, 8 hours of continuous snow and only ever
managed 1cm lying on the ground.
Looking at the webcams, for Tideswell, Buxton and Cat & Fiddle it looked
like a different world.
Snow ended around 15.00, the temp between 0.2c to 1.6c for the whole 8
hours.
Cloud starting to break up now, current temp 0.8c
