Please can I make an entry! Despite the fact that the temp has risen to a
massive 1.7C, the ground started frosty, the early morning snow settled,
and
several hours of almost uninteruppted moderate with heavy bursts of snow -
it still won't settle. You can tell me all the things about solar
radiation
(we've had 20 mins direct today!) and SST's but I've never seen, in forty
years of looking, snow failing to settle in February with these
temperatures
and conditions. RH of 100% could be more the problem maybe. Anyway,
cleared
now, hope for same amount overnight which might do better. Don't give
tomorrow's system much chance if this didn't do anything though.

Yes I find that the probability of lying snow seems to be inversely
proportional to how hopeful I am!

Even 200m asl in the north downs it refused to settle. A real pain in the
ass.
