Heavy Snow ?
"MahFL" wrote in message ... How can a warning for heavy snow say 2 to 5 cm.....how is 2 cm of snow "heavy" ? The UK Met Office definition of heavy snow for warnings is "Snow falling at a rate of 2 cm/hour or more expected for at least two hours" so you could say that 4cm or 5cm was produced by heavy snow. It's the rate not the accumulation. Tom |
