"Heavy snow London & the SE" My A&^%
"Dave Cornwell" wrote in message ... "MahFL" wrote in message ... I still don't understand how 1 inch of snow can be described as "heavy". --------------------- I saw the warning and thought no chance. That view is reinforced now! Dave The old definitions had it right I feel:- Up to 2 inches (5cm) - light snowfall 2-6 inches (15cm) - moderate snowfall 6 inches - heavy snowfall It really starts to get disruptive above 6 inches (15cm). Now they use rates of accumulation. Will -- |

I think *any* snow is considered severe weather these days, as we've had so little in recent years (the last couple notwithstanding). |
