It's snowing

I think the definition of heavy snow is very different if you compare different locations ;)

In london heavy snow = snow flake.
In Russian heavy snow = 4ft of snow all over the place.

I actually think the Met Office need to be brought to task over the chaos it creates with constant overly pessimistic predictions (I won't call them forecasts since as far as I can see they use no form of science to create their "worst case" scenario games)

Take this chart for instance:

Simplified the top line has to be below -5 for their to realistically be any chance of a major snow event - if you look at the bottom left spike of probability for snow the intersection is really really close its literally down to the wire between a major snow event and just meh rain so they don't really have a choice but to be pessimistic in this case.

I sometimes wonder if I'll ever again experience the levels of snow in the UK we had on the outskirts of Whitchurch, Shropshire, back in ~1979. I was only ~6 at the time, but I still remember having to wade through the snowy fields as if I was a saddle sore cowboy, with the snow above my waist.

Certainly not much chance of that on the south coast, much more likely if I go to visit mother after she moves to Hebden Bridge!

I blame Wiggle global warming.

Have typically snowy countries, seen a decrease in snowfall though?
 
I asked my Canadian friend what the snow was like. He replied "Not too bad". I asked what that means, and he replied "Well there are still a few snow piles around but it hasn't snowed for a while"

Then he sent me a picture of one of these "piles" of snow. :eek: :D

Well done for telling us that somewhere, in 1200sq miles, it's snowing, because I'm in Gloucestershire, and it's not snowing here.

Oh. Well, if you give me your grid coordinates, I might be able to guide you into how to remove the stick from your arse.

Anyway. No longer snowing in Gloucestershire, I can report.
