    Snowy here in the western Peak today. About an inch. Some people sledging.

    More forecast tomorrow. We're hoping to get out as a family, but have only one sledge. I think we'll be resorting to plastic bags.

    How long does it take to get from the summit of Shutlingsloe down to the road on a plastic bag?

    Good idea. Not very long. I know the family who used to live at Shutlingsloe farm, apparently during those few snowy winters, their son would sledge down to the car at the road as the start of the school run.

    It has even reached the lowlands of Leicestershire. Still falling, but not as heavily as earlier.

    Edit: About two minutes after I posted (when it looked as if the snow had just about stopped), the snow is coming down heavier than at any time since I woke up.

    About 3" overnight so far and it's still falling consistently. Light wind so little drifting.

    No snow in Loughborough at any time during the three Winter months (Dec/Jan/Feb); but we had snow in November, and now we have had snow in March.

    So, having spent a few days in Scotland amidst dire warnings of snow "10 cm or more", when no more than a dusting of the tops appeared, I returned home to the North Pennines on Thursday to "Tier 3 warnings" and claims of "unprecedented low temperature for this time of the year" plus "heavy snow from 16:00 hrs on Thursday". Again, just a few paltry flakes and a heavy persistent frost `(kind of what you'd expect in December!).

    I wonder, when did our weather forecast adopt such dramatic hyperbole? Click-bait? Sensationalist media inflation? WTF!

    There is about an inch of snow on the ground here in Ambleside this morning. No doubt there is more higher up. Today's outing will be interesting.
