What's left of the dissipating band has reached here and it was a rainy sleety mix for a minute or so before fizzling out.
Looks like we're going to remain snowless for the time-being
Driven home to Edinburgh today from South of Nottingham via Otley in Yorkshire....interesting drive. 10cm of snow in Notts with more in North Notts. Main Roads were mostly clear. Snow petered out just north of Leeds. After that snow on hills only (above 200m in the Dales but above 300m further north). However there was an isolated light snow cover between West Linton and Edinburgh...looked like a rogue snow shower from earlier.
Summing up I would say the snow event mainly affected an area Loughborough to Leeds south to north and Liverpool to Lincoln West to east. Fair play to the Met Office...that was the yellow area issued 12hrs before the event!
Stunning conditions at 400 metres above Glossop. Snow is 3-6 inches deep with drifts above knee height. The temp is minus 1 and its now snowing lightly.

Driving to Buxton as you say the snow depth increased rapidly with height to in excess of 10 cm just a couple of miles away from Glossop. In Buxton itself there was about 8 to 10 cm.
Snowing again here and the temp has gone up a degree to -1c.
Just had a couple of fleeting wintry cold rain showers rattle through, but since I'm all weathered out after this morning's gales I'm finding it hard to get excited about this thing. Besides, a brand new episode of Top Gear is on at the moment.PS: Am picking out snowflakes under my favourite street lamp.
Light snow.
Just been up the Long Mynd (516 metres) in Shropshire. Patchy cover from just over 200 metres, gradually getting more consistent and then a more general cover above maybe 300-350 metres (less snow on south-facing slopes as may be expected). Depth difficult to be sure about due to heather but maybe 10-13cm level cover on the top? Icy, not sheet ice type stuff but enough for a couple of people to take a tumble in front of me.
An area of low cloud/fog moved through for a time giving a nice view across the top of it to the tops of other higher hills including the very snowy Berwyns. The fog then disappeared as quickly as it appeared to leave sunny skies again.
