Snow update

[Pitlamp]

Sunday morning (5th Jan); we got the forecast snow overnight. A fair dollop at Clapham at least. The A65 looks to be moving fine but ungritted roads are a bit difficult. Probably not the best day to travel to the Dales for a caving trip if you don't have to. There's been drifting so higher level roads / lanes are probably off limits for vehicles.

I bet all the school children are wishing it had come 24 hours later.

Sheffield is covered - I'm only at 80m AOD, and if I go out today it will only be in wellies to the shop.

6in snow in the North Pennines at 180m.

Come and gone already on mendip, although apparently still plenty in south Wales

Considering the news channels doomongering forecasts the snowfall around Ingleton has been pretty pathetic.

Reasonable deep in North Wales

A lot of rain here in Chard with a flood warning.

Daily Mail type "forecast" for the SE was Snowmageddon, deep drifting, too harsh even for polar bears, the world will stop spinning...

We had some brief snow overnight falling quicker than gritters could keep roads clear, which made my driving just past midnight unpleasant and slow but it soon rained above 0C and it's all gone.

A lot of water about though!

4" overnight in Darlington, a place not exactly renowned for Met extremes

Turned into one-sided Hulk, throwing snowballs all morning for the dog to chase!

Reasonable bit in Swaledale

Around 6" at Entwistle.

A small amount of snow in Cam Gloucestershire last night it had turned to rain by the morning.

 

[wormster]

All gone in Oxfordshire by lunchtime

 

[IeatMud]

A bit of snow in Wolfscote Dale, was quite slugdy.

 

[Pitlamp]

Much of the snow in the Clapham area has now gone, as it stayed above zero overnight.
Still plenty on the hill though. Rivers are up a bit on what they were before the snow event but not massively (as at early Monday morning).

Sunny and warm in Cornwall

Does anybody know what the state of the lane up to Bullpot Farm is like, or equally Leck Fell? I'm over in Kendal where the amount of snow received has been pretty minimal, and trying to interpolate between that and what the dales further east have had is a tricky one. I'm hoping to do an Easegill trip on Thursday, so if anybody heads up between now and then or hears anything, please let us know!
