Looks like there's been some over the Snake, but nothing short of a tiny bit of sleet in S11 yet.

As well as @northless for early morning Stanage reports you can follow @snakepasswatch for a "worst case scenario" of general conditions (i.e. if the Snake Pass is shut then snow could be problematic around the Peak).

Thats right - you could also use the UKB Wiki to look at some web cams too...

Drove home via Peak Forest/Froggatt at 5ish. Roads were fine, a couple of cm of settled snow on the ground at most. May be a different story once it all freezes tonight though!
