It is bad enough here on the edge of the Peaks so you can see how bad it is out there and sticks and there is ment to be another 10 straight hours of snow here be well over a foot by dinner time at this rate here and pushing 50cm+ on the highest ground. -
So many people unprepared I had to help a van out that had got stuck in Sheffield I had a bag of grit and snow shovel and managed to get him out that was my good deed for the day. If I had a 4x4 I would help anyone in need.
-
This is why the police out a warning in the Peak District there is a few people trapped near Buxton too due to snow drifting over the road the conditions are life threatening over the peaks. Blizzard conditions for the last few hours in Dronfield
-
It was bad enough at top of Dronfield I had to turn back. Must be 25cm easy there now and that was 2 hours ago it was whipping up and it was difficult to see dread to think how bad it is your way.
-
Its the highest part around 150m at its highest.
-
Good advice reports of big queue of traffic stuck on the A623 and all roads out of Buxton now closed so it is effectively cut off. Drifting snow is the main danger and what could prove deadly so many people stuck out there wouldn't be surprised if it makes the news with the amount of people being silly and getting stuck.
-
Can't say I am surprised I have just been up the hill here at 200m at the top and it was easily 25cm+ deep and drifting with blizzard conditions in Dronfield Derbyshire.
-
Its full on blizzard conditions in the higher parts of Dronfield went to the top but had to come straight back down as the wind was whipping up the snow it was even drifting on the roads.
-
Keep an eye out for band of heavier precipitation forming just north of Birmingham heading due north straight over Derby and heading straight for Sheffield looks like plenty more to come
-
Looks like by the end of this in the highest parts of Sheffield it will be the deepest snow in 13 years even deeper than the BFTE!
-
This was an hour ago travelling back from Crystal Peaks to Dronfield this was from Manor top to Bochum Parkway in Sheffield. 20230309_213704.mp4

See that all the time here in Sheffield the varying weather all over the city is madness. If you didn't live in Sheffield you could easily get caught out the difference in 1 or 2 mile can be very big.
-
It is bad enough in the higher Sheffield suburbs 20cm easily at 200m so you must be at 1ft+ easily now.
-
Always remember driving up there from King's Norton to the Lickey Hills and the Monument car park there was no snow anywhere in Birmingham apart from at the top where it was covered lovely place in the snow.
-
I am not suprised looks like lower ground in Sheffield is going to sturggle for accumulated snow unless it really gets heavy. Just been from Dronfield to Crystal Peaks the difference is ridiculous there is about 15cm level snow on Dronfield where as at Crystal Peaks lucky if there is a few cm.
-
I am bang in the middle between. Sheffield and chesterfield and its snowing here and sky towards Chesterfield and the South West of Chesterfield looks full got a real orange glow to it.
-
We always seem to do well in these scenarios last one I can remember was the 2010 fall where band after band just kept hitting us we ended up with 2ft+ of snow my car was buried for a Week. Won't be anywhere near that due to the time of year and warmth In the ground at this level but a few mile up the road above 300m could be looking at 40-50cm I would say.
-
I wouldn't be surprised the conditions are horrendous its literally not stopped snowing since this morning. Judging by the radar it looks like the gap is going to close so it may not stop at all before the next batch hits. I am going to walk to top of the hill in a bit and see what it is like.
-
Current view gonna take a walk when the heaviest snow gets here I have a feeling if it all pans out we could end up with over a ft of snow in Dronfield providing there is no rise in tempretures.
-
There was 15-20cm in the highest parts of Sheffield North East Derbyshire 3 hours ago and its been snowing non stop since.
-
I think evaporative cooling and the sheer Intensity of the snow did it unfortunately for me I just so happened to be on a journey that would usually take 20-25 mins took about 2 hours and resulted in several crashes thankfully no serious damage to my car or others. It was that bad cars getting stuck at the lights were rolling backwards down the hill into other cars.
-
Looking at that reminds me of the 2010 fall of snow when bands and bands of snow kept coming and we ended up with 2ft of snow.
-
Please don't remind me of that I was in Sheffield the heaviest snow I can recall. Literally went from clear roads to completely covered in the space of 2 miles and the roads turned to ice rinks pretty much straight away. Never seen anything like it cars crashing into each other like dodgems as there was no grit on the roads.
-
Looking at the radar earlier I thought that may be possible looked to be closing if it does and we get more heavy snow we could end up with the highest totals certainly since the BFTE but maybe even surpassing it. Can't see us hitting 2ft of snow like back in 2010 but that was December and the ground was colder. Gonna be an interesting night that is for sure. Move to the hills around Sheffield because when we get snow we tend to have big falls.
