Default [WR] Peak District snow

Moderate snow now in Tideswell with vis around 600m. The temp is +0.5° so there
is a slow thaw in progress but it's now accumulating faster than it's melting.
Currently 2cm of lying snow.

The Snake Pass has been closed but the Cat & Fiddle road is still open. The
webcam at the Cat & Fiddle shows that the road appears to be wet so the
gritting is working. The AWS at Walker Barn at 370m on the road from the Cat &
Fiddle towards Macclesfield is showing a temp of -0.2° with a 25 knot wind
blowing. Unfortunately, the AWS at Flash isn't reporting this morning.
