.......... Heavy wet snow through Monday
morning has now become more patchy in Buxton through Monday afternoon @
16.00 - roads
in Buxton at 330 metres
above sea level have mainly cleared - high level routes
are now returning to "Passable with care"...
DCC UPDATE @ 15.00 All the roads which were closed earlier today
because of unexpected snow have now re-opened. They are passable with care so
please take extra care if you are out and about. We do have gritters out going
round all our routes. The roads that were most affected by the snow were: A57,
Snake Pass (Glossop to Sheffield) A537, Cat and Fiddle Road (Buxton
to Macclesfield) A53, Leek Road (Buxton to Leek) A6024,
Holme Moss (Crowden to Holme) A6 (Buxton to Doveholes) A515 (Ashbourne
to Buxton) A623 (Stoney Middleton to Barmoor Clough)
LATEST REPORTS (Also see link to SNOW PHOTOS BELOW)- "A515 update 1400
Parsley Hay. Traffic is moving again in both directions - road is still very
slushy (some melting and rain instead of snow has improved conditions) but is
passable with care for most vehicles – at least for now!" Thank you Chritine
AND "Buxton to Rowsley A6 South - now Running fine- Lane 2 of the
Taddington bypass interesting! Lane 1 is fine." Thank you Emma Shanks @ 14.20
AND "A515 Ashbourne Road
- traffic now moving past Brirlow Bar but it is going to Coalpit Lane - nothing
going to Sterndale Moor!" AND ""A53 Leek Road - the trucks
have cleared and the road out of Buxton is just passable with snow tyres and
care!" Thank you Roy Evans @ 14.10 AND " Made the A537 cat and
fiddle road but you have to have snow tyres would not recommend though and
there's lorries littered all over the place crashed bmw down a mound. Buxton
itself is gridlock. Stay where ever you are " Thank you Jordan M @ 12.50
AND "A515 update 1230 at Parsley Hay - Cars, vans and trucks all at a
standstill blocking the road in both directions and visibility is still very
poor, snowfall appears to be easing slightly. Snow lying on the road is very
slippy, causing difficulty for non 4x4 vehicles on hills, bends and access
to/from A515 from side roads " Thank you Christine AND "B5053 up past The Bookshop
from A515 - Truck stuck - blocking the road near the bridge" Thank you Helen Simonsen @ 12.40 AND "Do not attempt the A537 Cat & Fiddle - all vehicles are now
turning back and then attempting to get back to Buxton - then they are hampered
by traffic queuing for Leek Road blockage!" Thank you Nick Mills @ 12.25
AND "Please can some 4x4's or tractors help to start towing cars
that are stuck on the A53 by high edge race way please." Thank you Jackie Head @

Met Office - Longer Range Forecast, for the entire UK ©Met Office.:
........... Friday 10 Dec - Sunday 19 Dec
Remaining largely unsettled on Friday, particularly in the west, with showers or
longer spells of rain at times, and snow possible across higher ground, mainly
in the north. Looking drier in the east with some brighter spells. Generally
light winds, and temperatures near to, or slightly below average. Showers and
longer spells of rain for most through the weekend, with some hill snow likely
at times, mainly in the north. Temperatures generally around average. Stronger
winds at times, especially in the west, where these may reach gale force.
Further into the period, blustery showers and longer spells of rain for a time
before more settled conditions look likely to develop, most likely with milder
temperatures, but a chance of some briefer colder interludes, bringing an
occasional risk of frost.
Monday 20 Dec - Monday 3 Jan
Going into the Christmas period, it is likely to be milder than earlier in the
month, with temperatures near to, or above normal, although some colder spells
remain possible. It is likely to become more settled around Christmas and
towards New Year with increased chance of overnight frost and fog during clearer
spells. .................................
