-6C is -6C, regardless of whether it occurs as a result of an Arctic air mass or under a temperature inversion in an anticyclonic spell.

This is a physical impossibility. If rain leaves a cloud it's stays as rain. It cannot turn to snow.

Faux cold is another one, especially since there's no such thing as "faux cold".-6C is -6C, regardless of whether it occurs as a result of an Arctic air mass or under a temperature inversion in an anticyclonic spell.

One that sometimes even the pros use sometimes. ' Rain turning to snow'.This is a physical impossibility. If rain leaves a cloud it's stays as rain. It cannot turn to snow.

And "torpedo" from winter 2015-16. That was a term used by Glacier Point on Netweather and it morphed into this out of control monster that a lot of people didn't know what the hell it was, did it strike or whatever?!

I get annoyed by people who talk about the sun being too strong for proper snowfall once we get into early February. This year it was snowing hard with a temperature of -3C during the daytime in March!
"Wintry weather is no use in March" – when in fact March gives us some of our best snowfalls, and is also often the best month to go skiing in the Alps or wherever
The problem with the Moden Winter theory is that the winter's between 2009 and 2013 proved it wrong. Significant cold and snow is still possible for all of the UK even in these warming times. December 2010 was 0.1c away from being the coldest CET December for 350 years that alone discredits the theory.

I've always felt that "modern winter" was like sticking a pin in a climate change denier!
