Yep, which is why I said "and the heavier precipitation hasn't yet arrived". Snow now in Buxton market place, covering cars and some footpaths and it's recently increased to moderate intensity on the radar. They'll have a full snow cover by midnight.
Temperature 0.6 deg C at Harpur Hill Buxton, falling, 1.8 mm rainfall so far.
