Default So, how did the Met Office do ....

I saved the Accumulated snow image from a run of the 45km. MM5 ,init. 18z 21st ,VT 12Z 22nd,
( http://www.westwind.ch/?page=mm5f )
comparing with reports this morning,it did pretty well except seems to have forecast snow for the
east Midlands,well inland,and north into central Kent (presumably downwind from the Thames
estuary).
The mesoscale shower systems I pointed out in the NOAA pass last night seemed to rapidly fall apart
by early this morning.I wonder if the meso models were suggesting these wld persist for longer,and
give more snow and stronger winds in central and SE England?Indeed spin up of one of these systems
wld have given a more NEly component to wind as it passed by,
