Sunny start but more cloud rolled in from mid morning still some sunny
spells still coming though. Temp up to 7.0c
Bit of snow left in the shade and off course the drifts quite deep on the
way from Weston Coyney to Leek.
Loved the weekend walking in our country park in those blizzard like
conditions but it was so bloody cold in that wind!
As much as I love snow hopefully that will be the last of it and we can look
forward to some warmer Spring like weather.

The models aren't looking too promising, Graham, with Thursday this
week probably being the peak of the 'warmth' then a gradual slide back
to coldish weather for Easter.

I wasn't in Tideswell over the weekend but it's pretty obvious that
there was a lot more snow than during the previous episode at the
beginning of the month. I drove over to Bakewll this morning, via
Wardlow. The drifts along the side of the road were very impressive,
higher than the car in places. The snow plough and gritter teams have
done a superb job in getting the roads clear so quickly. I understand
that all roads in the area were impassable on Sunday morning.

The snowfall on Saturday was quite intense at times, not seen snow like that
for a while.
Had that continued overnight into Sunday it would have been really bad,
worth the amber warning.
It was really bad at times here at our height, must have been much worse at
Tideswell.
The snowfall overnight Saturday though persistent was only light to moderate
before turning slight Sunday morning.
I do see what you mean about the charts for Easter Norman, could be
interesting!
Think any thoughts I had about Spring warmth may be put on hold, at least
for the foreseeable future.
