The lack of more snow recently should mean the roads already cleared remain so. However the very cold night will have created dangerously icy conditions so please take care first thing. (Click here to see the current temperature in Parwich.) As always please use the comments facility to share any news or information and any requests or offers of help.
It is hoped that the Schools will reopen today, however you can click here to check for any Derbyshire School closures.

Made the journey to Derby this morning. There’s been a ferocious frost. At 6.50am, the temperature in Parwich was -15.5 degrees, dropping to -22 degrees at the ford! The frozen snow is very hard, so best to keep to cleared stretches. The road out of the village to the B5056 is passable with care.
-14 degrees under the barn – water all frozen for the horses and the 4WD won’t start. Heh ho – here goes another week.
I travelled into Sheffield this morning at 7.30 am – in the mini cooper the frozen ice in the middle of the road was scraping on the bottom of the car on Alsop Road. Other than that I used main roads A515 to Buxton and then A6 to Bakewell which were very clear – as didn’t want to cut across minor roads through Moneyash.
Padley Gorge was quite bad with compacted snow and ice, so not sure I’ll venture that way back home. The A625 into Sheffield itself was down to a lane and ½ as the snow plough had obviously cleared a pathway through but not enough for 2 lanes of traffic. Took just short of 3 hours (1 Hour was stuck in traffic in Sheffield)
I think I’ll be trying the motorway home!!
after all this snow we finally got down to ashbourne today to shop and stock up, on the way down my temperature gauge on the car registered minus 12, on the way down to tissington ford. What happened to global warming ?
It is called climate change, not global warming. Climate models show that increased greenhouse gases will increase average global mean temperature, but some places may get colder. There is a theory that reduced salt levels in the north Atlantic from meting ice in the arctic will could cause the oceanic currents such as the gulf stream to change causing places like the British Isles to enjoy the winters of other places of similar latitudes, such as Canada.
It’s going to be another cold one… 19:30 coming home this evening past the Bradbourne turn the car temp display fell to -20 I wonder what it will be first thing tomorrow morning? 😮
sorry colin
lets get it right. global warming is the cause of climate change, according to NASA.
Global warming is defined as the increase of the average temerature on the earth, so you see both terms are correct.
