I don't know the temperature here but we have had Thunder and Lightning mixed in with the blizzards. :sad:
 
Buxton is cut off again this morning by the looks of local weather site. Still showing minus 7 but the wind has got up (hence the drifts that have cut us off) so chill factor won’t be nice.

Not too bad sat inside on comfy sofa though :)
 
Drove from Bridge of Orchy to Bonnyrigg last nite. Took me 3 hours in deep snow and blizzard conditions. Left at 9pm and hardly met any traffic. M9 was nuts with deep snow and no visible tracks because the lack of vehicles. I have kuhmo winter tyres on my van and am mega impressed with how they performed making it a very enjoyable journey.

Just to satisfy my own curiosity and that of mr negative I went into back garden and measured the depth of snow fall photos a bit grainy but measured at 11 inches 28 cm. View attachment 61496

Have you heard today on the news, they have now decided there is a gas shortage.

People say this country can't cope with bad weather.

:wave:

I agree, at least you have the whole road to yourself. When driving to Green Frog gathering late November, I took the 701 over Devils Beef Tub, a fair amount of snow with sub zero temps, whole road to myself, made the journey interesting!

It's the last few yards that can catch you out though 😀

Son in law in Hull was saying all they have is strong winds now, the bit of snow they did have has gone. You aren’t far from motorway in Stavely so depending where you are going and if it is clear it may be right time to move. Windy today but should now be clear of further snow until this evening. That’s us an we are only about 20 miles (but much higher) than your location.

Once it starts next break is currently Tuesday and Wednesday next week although forecast keeps changing. Good luck
