It's snowing here ... (please add area / town / village / postcode etc)

Snowing hard here! A6 north closed at Dove Holes, Macclesfield Rd closed, Leek Rd A53 closed, A515 closed, Snake Pass closed, Woodhead closed - in a word, not much moving here this morning!! Mind you, we have at least 6ins of snow where it has not drifted and over 24ins where it has drifted in the strong east winds!

From the Derbyshire CC website at 2.30pm today!:
The following roads on our primary routes are currently closed due to heavy snow:

A623 Tideswell Moor
A537 Cat and Fiddle
A53 Leek Road
A57 Snake Pass
A6024 Holme Moss
A515 Ashbourne to Buxton
Newton Wood Lane in Newton is currently closed due to BT cables obstructing the road.
The A5004 Long Hill is now open and passable with care.

looking out of the window - I think it might have just stopped snowing!!!
 
Hi Somelier,

That dog WOULD be at home this weather. It is a Bernese Mountain Dog, from Switzerland.

Unfortunately it did not get the Brandy duty. It was bred to pull a cart, usually laden with milk churns etc.
 
Holmfirth

Snowed a lot earlier, high roads closed but all melted now:have fun:
 
Anyone near Harrogate / Pateley Bridge / Skipton know what the weather and road conditions are like there?
 
From the Derbyshire Police not long ago:

Police are warning motorists to keep away from Derbyshire's Peak District as conditions have worsened during the last few hours.

The A515 between Buxton and Ashbourne is closed for the foreseeable future as the wind is continuing to blow lying snow across the road.

Most of the roads in the Peak District are dangerous and even drivers of 4 x 4 vehicles are having difficulty.

Slow ploughs are working to clear the roads but there are reports of numerous vehicles stuck in snow drifts.

Police have repeated their appeal for drivers to stay off the roads unless their journey is vital.
 
Anyone near Harrogate / Pateley Bridge / Skipton know what the weather and road conditions are like there?

The snow soon turned to rain in Harrogate last night but I heard there were problems this morning on the road from Skipton at Blubberhouses. Today has been mainly dry with a cold wind, forecast for tonight is clear and frosty.
 
ttaken fro another site who took it from another site Someone put this picture on Camping and Caravan Club Facebook page, they had been sunbathing last week and woke this morning to this at Ashbourne, Derbyshiresnow.jpg

A57 Derbyshire - A57 Snake Pass in High Peak closed in both directions between Ladybower reservoir and Royal Oak Inn, Glossop, because of snow.
B5055 Derbyshire - B5055 in Bolehill blocked near the Green Lane junction, because of snow.

In North Wales:

The Sun has got it's hat on
Hip Hip Hip Hooray
The sun has got it's hat on and it's coming out to play!!

Still cool 5C but the wind has died down.

Yesterday the number of tuggers and MH's coming in for Easter increased, all stuck in the traffic caused by the grounding of the boat.

It took my Step daughter 3 1/2 hrs to get to work through the diversions, every local road was blocked by people trying to get around the incident.

A55 open one lane both ways now Llanddulas - Old Colwyn J22-23
 
Beautiful day at Sedgefield in county Durham. Sunny and 7c at noon. We can see the snow on Stainmoor and the North Yorkshire moors from here. Looks nice but glad we are not there.
