Absolute crap here last night, despite my ramping.
As I mentioned in the model thread, I will take more note of the Euro4 model in future.
You would think that -8C/-9C uppers blowing across a warm Irish Sea on a westerly would bring snow here (it certainly has in the past), but all we had was brief hail showers. Really disappointing.
Maybe the wind was too strong? Why that would make a difference I do not know, but in the past when we’ve had snow on a westerly, the main action has taken place when the wind has fallen light.
I used to get more snow when I lived in Stockport (80m ASL). Down here only 40m lower down, I’ve really noticed the difference the past few winters.
Really, really poor. Can’t remember the last time I saw a decent snowfall with snow lying on the trees etc. Must have been a brief fall in Jan 2015. I must admit I’m getting tetchy!
