RMK: Sleet turned to snow around 2300z yesterday evening.
Since then it has been snowing with the temp around +1C.
There's 2 cm of very wet snow on the ground. There's
nothing on the road. That's just wet.

0900z CALM 0800 -SN FG 8St003 +00.7/+00.7 999
RMK: Snow was moderate at times 0700-0800 but it has almost
stopped now. 3 cm lying snow and the road now has a slushy
covering.
09-09z: Tx 3.7 (1450z) Tn +0.3 (0900z yesterday) RR 14.7
21-09z: Tn 0.6 (0805z) 15-09z: Tg 0.0 (under snow)

1600z 31003kt 4000 BR 7St005 +02.9/+02.8 1002
RMK: Snow died out around 0930z. Grey and overcast since
then with a spit or two of rain now and again. There's
been a slow thaw throughout the day and we're now down
to a scrappy 30% cover. Max temp 2.9 but it's still
creeping up.


All in all a bit disappointing. Still, very early in the season.

We were happy. My wife had to go to Bakewell yesterday and that might have been
impossible if the forecast had been anything like correct. As it turned out,
the roads were clear.

I saw yesterday that Derbyshire County Council were tweeting that the amount of
snow over the Peak District was much less than had been forecast.
