Needs confirming but it appears a part of Great Hucklow was hit by a mini Tornado this morning. You can make out a path the 'tornado taken'. Most of the village untouched. Very isolated but severe damage and sadly many birds died in the falling trees.

Recording between 30 and 35cms of lying snow, Harpur Hill in Buxton. A few more cms possible before it clears away. Then the next issue is tonight. Well below freeing temperatures will freeze the snow. Minus double digits possible.

Official snow depths after this storm is probably around 15 to 18cms or around 7 inches. With so much drifting and blowing some pretty deep snow drifts in places as well. This was the heaviest fall since March 2019.

If you follow our tweets/posts you will know that a Strat warming event is likely next week. This is now 99% likely to happen. Once it has happened it's a case of what it does to our weather if anything. Some long range models already showing small hints of a change. Stay tuned.

We are still under a weather warning for snow on Thursday and Friday. Is a risk of disruption. The worse maybe further North. However, if it stalls over us before moving North we are going to be talking alot of snow. Keep up to date with forecasts next couple of days.
