Default Snowdon Could Lose Its Snow In Less Than 15 Years!

"We've been recording the snowline on the mountain for the last 14
years and over that time we've seen a distinct downward trend in the
snow cover - not only in the height at which the snow is occurring but
also in the season.

And some of them might even have realised that if they were talking
about the height of the snowline it would be more correct to talk of an
upward trend.

Besides, AIUI there is no permanent snowline in the UK.

IIRC it's supposed to be at around 5500ft, and no UK mountain is that
high.
