there is snow on the M20! (they didn't say which bit).


Probably the surface. :-)



The synic in me says on the surface for about 2 seconds before it
melts. Think we had a brief bit of sleet this afternoon, but then I'm
not expecting to get much if any from this event. Mind we do end up on
the cold side of the 528 line for the next day or two so any
precipitation we do get is more likely to be snow.


I will keep my fingers crossed for you. I had my share in November when
I was cut off (by snow) for 7 days. It looks likely that I will not be
really affected this time but I've had my fun.
