the ground. The A57 Snake Pass and The A6024 Holme Moss have now
reopened - Rushup Edge and The
Winnats Pass have reopened. Other Higher level routes in the area, including the A537

Road, The A5004 Long Hill Road, The A623 through Sparrowpit, Peak Forest and
Tideswell and The A6 North & South from Buxton, have some slush cover but appear
to be running reasonably well. Local side roads are well covered in snow
and it is freezing now - so things are interesting!!

Met Office Slopes Weather Station Team, recorded an Air Temperature overnight
low of a very cold -6.0 °C this morning Friday.
Air Temperature is measured with a Met Office calibrated thermometer inside a
standard ventilated cabinet (a "Stevensen Screen") (Designed by Thomas Stevensen,
a Scottish civil engineer, father of author Robert Louis Stevensen) This is

Met Office - Longer Range Forecast, for the entire UK ©Met Office.:
...........Wednesday 20 Jan - Friday 29 Jan
Rain and strong winds clear from the southeast during Wednesday. Most areas will
see bright and mostly dry conditions following, but showers will affect the
north and northwest. From Thursday onwards rather cold and unsettled conditions
look likely for most of the UK, northwesterly winds will bring frequent showers,
particularly to north and west-facing coasts, falling as snow over high ground
and also down to lower levels at times. Atlantic low-pressure systems are
expected to cross the south of the county at times, bringing rainfall and
periods of slightly milder temperatures, and there will be a risk of snowfall on
the boundary between the mild and cold airmasses. Northern and central areas are
more likely to be affected by wintry hazards during this period.
Friday 29 Jan - Friday 12 Feb
Confidence for this period is low, though there is a signal for weaker than
average westerly winds and for Atlantic low-pressure systems to track further
south than normal. This will bring below-average temperatures to the north of
the UK, as well as a higher likelihood of wintry precipitation. Further south,
there is a continued risk of unsettled conditions, with above-average rainfall
and periods of slightly above average temperatures. There remains the potential
for significant snowfall along the boundary between colder air to the north and
the milder air in the south, with the greatest risk across central and northern
areas. Through this period there is a greater than average chance of cold spells
spreading across the whole UK at times with the associated risk of wintry
hazards.........
