Spot in Saint, it’s heights to our NW we need. You can keep your Easterlies for me.
bit off topic, but the best snowfalls have always arrived with a LP clipping england when under the influence of an easterly. a big fat wedge of moisture. hours and hours of snowfall. as the LP approaches the winds increase, blizzards. And you know from the radar youre a good 200 miles from the other side of the system.
Probably the closest we get to a "noreaster"
Whereas snow shows feeding off a north west wind really are hit and miss, mostly hail and if youre near the coast, more often, rain.
Easterlys almost guarantee you anything that falls from the sky will be snow - even in marginal conditions. Whereas ive had nailed on conditions from a northerly and its been hail and sleet. Saying that, the slightest wrong angle and its dry air over the pennines for us in the north west.
