Tideswell, Derbyshire - Tuesday 27th February 2018
----------------------------------------------------------------

0630z 31002kt 10km -SHSN 6Cu012 -03.3/-04.2 1027
RMK: Some slight snow overnight but there's only 1 cm on
the ground. Winds have been very light throughout the
night, mostly from N-NW.

0900z 04002kt 10km -SN 2Sc018 7Sc030 -02.6/-03.8 1027
RMK: It's been snowing gently for the past couple of hours
but still only 1 cm on the ground. Untreated roads are a bit
slippery but, overall, the weather seems to be having little
or no impact on travel locally. There's been hardly a breath
of a breeze so far this morning, though it has veered to
the NE during the past hour. No doubt it'll freshen as the
beefier showers start to push in from the ENE.
09-09z: Tx +0.4 (1150z) Tn -4.3 (0345z) RR 0.7
15-09z: Tg -5.6 00-24z: Sun 2.5

1200z 07011g22kt 0100 +SN BLSN VV/// -02.3/-03.6 1026
RMK: Slight snow continued till around 1045z then became
mod/hvy with a fresher wind. There's 3 cm of lying snow
with some drifting. I suspect that this is the leading edge of
somewhat colder air.

1700z 07008kt 20km RESHSN 4Cu012 4Sc035 -03.1/-04.6 1024
RMK: Continuous snow ceased just after midday. During the
afternoon there's been sunny intervals and occasional mod/hvy
snow and hail showers. There's 3 cm lying snow with a little
drifting but I'm not aware of any traffic disruption in the
area. There hasn't been enough snow or wind today for
the drifting to be a problem but if there's more snow
tonight and tomorrow with stronger winds then it might
become a problem. Max temp +0.2° so we didn't quite manage
an 'ice day'. With the temp falling below -3° already it's
perishing out there.
