Hi, All,
Difficult to measure as it varies from about 2cm to over 40cm but an
average around 20cm is the report going in to MetO
Current 29th 10:40Z W 16KT, 800 metres, snow showers and blowing snow,
scattered clouds, -1C/-2C 977mb falling.
Looks like a better day from now.

The amazing thing about all of that Ken is here in the tropical south most
of us south of Northampton have hardly seen a snow flake for nearly two
years ( on low ground of course) and London has completely missed out.
I admit to be something of a AGW sceptic,but I'm beginning to wonder........


Hi, Ron,
Most noticeable thing about this winter here has been an unusual amount of snow on westerlies and south-westerlies.
Winds from the east bring us our heaviest falls normally, but we are far enough west to get the western falls as well.
They seem to run out of steam before they reach you.
As Will says, it's down to synoptics, not warming(imvho).
Was there ever much snow with you on westerlies?
