Default Snow question

"David Gartrell" wrote in message



Why is it that if its 2C in october or november if will quite often rain
instead of snow and yet come April it can be 7 or 8C and snow quite
readily. I'm guessing it has to do with the temperature of the surrounding
seas but i may be wrong.



If the wind is blowing fast enough high enough it would climb even
higher over warm air already here wouldn't it?

Then as the wind blows the base cover away we get some nice wet snow.

Just a guess.
