Hi there, long-time lurker, but have been following this newsgroup closely
over the past couple of weeks watching Will's very early snow prediction
coming to pass - very exciting to follow! What was the phrase that hooked
me in? "Significant snow event"?


Anyway, I'm modelling a wintry scene in 3D on the computer for an
animation, and would like to know if it's possible to have a snow shower
whilst there's heavy fog?

Hi Nick

I was in Castleton in the Peaks today and over Mam tor that was the
what we got. After earlier showers the cloud base dropped before
another shower came over.

Simon. I used to go up Back tor years ago. A good mountain with a
track up from Strines Inn. Had Wallabies in those days, turned loose
by Glossop zoo in the War; been told they have died out now - sad.
Anyway I often went on my own and got caught out around Jan 1973 in
snow and fog, just came down and 200M in snow and fog is not nice
needed compass to get back, frightening. On low groung though
visibility in fog tends to improve in rain or rain showers, seems a
straightforward case of coalescence.
Cheers
Paul.
