In some parts of the UK would it not be right to associate low temperatures
with lack of cloud cover - no clouds, no snow? Or is this too simplistic?

I've always wondered where that saying originated. As you say, it
snows in Siberia (and the poles plus Canada, Alaska, etc) at -30 and

freezing.

Methinks those dear old ladies need educating.
