Default Too cold to snow?

Land temperatures have been too low to trigger convection. The North Sea
however is still at around 10 degrees, more than enough. Consequently, the
snow showers have to a very large extent been confined to coastal districts
and a short way inland. I doubt that any showers were actually GENERATED
over the cold land.

So in situations like Monday morning, "too cold to snow" has a ring of truth
about it.
