the roads are really only passable with 4x4" Thank you John Martin @ 16.15

black ice becoming a problem round the bends, I would avoid, a few cars turning
round going back." Thank you Hattie Elland @ 12.45" AND "Side roads terrible in Buxton - Green Lane , Cavendish Ave
, Mill Dale Ave all very tricky even with 4x4 " Thank you John Martin @ 09.10
AND "Driven to Buxton from Cheadle, Staffs using A515 Ashbourne
Road. Traffic moving nicely, road in reasonable condition to drive." Thank you

to the Chatsworth / Baslow road (and it was minus 9)" Thank you Andy Wood @

Don’t attempt unless in a 4x4 or a tractor!!" Thank you Bev Wilson @ 18.40
AND "I have attempted to get to work in
Macclesfield this afternoon. A6 from bakewell is quite slippy turned about at
Buxton due to deteriorating weather and road conditions. On the way back to
Bakewell there are two stranded lorries on the A6 on the corner before the start
of the dual carriageway Buxton bound, causing a fair queue back towards bakewell.
Stopping is an issue so people need to keep speed down. I am in a 4WD with
winter tyres and it caught me out a few times" Thank you Michele Coles @ 17.00
AND "Just driven A6 Matlock to Buxton - roads
clear until Taddington bypass with snow on the road but easily passable with
care." Thank you tresa Doyle @ 15.45 AND "B5470

especially the section from Kettleshulme over to Rainow" Thank you Alistair
Wilkinson @ 15.20 AND "Ice over Snow on Sunday morning - snow fall
returned about 12 and is still falling on Main Street Chelmorton - but Cars
still getting up and down village" Thank you Hollinsclough in Chelmorton @ 15.00

Wardlow Mires It’s snowing & sticking . Road still clear up to Monsal Head . I
drove from Grindleford to Little Longstone around 1.30 pm . Roads were ok but if
it freezes again tonight it will need extreme care in places where the snow is
lying . It was very tricky in places first thing this morning as you’d expect"

care in places" AND "Snowing quite heavily between Buxton and

attempt, listen to the road closed signs and do not go up there! It’s
Pandemonium! Snow ploughs are attempting to clear the road but it’s that bad it
won’t be open any time soon at all. (I do appreciate you must think i’m an
idiot for trying but i wanted to see if it was as bad as it was) - Cheers
appreciate your website it helps massively especially at this time of year"

06.15..............................
After all the frantic activity yesterday on the roads - hope you are all safe
and warm! You may remember that on snowy days the Internet Servers dealing with
www.buxtonweather.co.uk sometimes crashed with the sheer weight of numbers
visiting the site - and visiting my roadside cameras - happily - even with
65,000 visitors, in the 12 hours between 05.00 and 17.00 Saturday, they have
held up!! Sigh of relief and thanks to Server provision from Mark at The
PCDoctor & Zen Internet!
Thanks for all YOUR support - and to all those Good Samaritans sending updates
in to me - to help other travellers.
Michael Hilton

Met Office - Longer Range Forecast, for the entire UK ©Met Office.:
........... Saturday 4 Dec - Monday 13 Dec
A mainly fine and dry start on Saturday with showers in the west, these
potentially wintry in the northwest. Heavy rain will spread across most areas
throughout the day which will likely fall as snow over Scottish high ground. It
will remain windy with coastal gales in the west. Temperatures will be near
normal in the southeast and cold in the north. Continuing unsettled through the
rest of this period with spells of wet and windy weather, interspersed with
brighter interludes accompanied with showers. The wettest conditions are likely
to be in the west and northwest, and drier in the south towards the end of the
period. Often windy with a risk of gales at times, especially in the north and
northwest. Mild, with the potential for brief colder interludes.
Tuesday 14 Dec - Tuesday 28 Dec
Overall, through this period it is expected to be unsettled and changeable with
milder and wetter than average conditions for most, bringing a risk of stormy
conditions. Perhaps turning more settled in southern regions for a time nearer
the start of this period, which will increase the risk of frost and fog when
skies clear overnight. Temperatures on the milder side for much of this period,
but some short lived colder spells are possible. .................................
