Hi Graham
Why do we do this when it doesn't fit their predictions. I was looking at
the radar yesterday evening and there were pockets of heavier snowfall.
Where I live in Pudsey not a million miles from Church Fenton we had 6 or 7
cm . We had very little drifting. I find it difficult to imagine that they
had 16 cm even in drifts. I have a friend who lives about 8 miles away from
Church Fenton and he will let me know. The depth may have been 6 cm in
Church Fenton. Can't believe that this would turn out the snowiest either.
Again looking at the radar last evening its more likely to be the tops of
the Pennines where the greatest depths occurred! On another point Church
Fenton would not be manned Saturday evening to measure the snow. Not sure
what instrumentation they have but if its automatic I would question this
depth!

.. . . showed a table of snow depths that she said were from Met Office
stations this morning where the top depth was 16cm from Church Fenton.
She then said it was probably due to drifting. Nice of her to criticise
her colleagues on breakfast TV.
