I'm guessing it's that she's never measured snow depth, or
assumes it's not a human observation, so may be affected by
drifting. I can't imagine she'd purposefully criticize the MO on air,
but you never know! Am I right in thinking all BBC weather
presenters have to do the MO trainee forecaster course? If so, I'd
have thought they'd cover observing practices in there?

She's a Met Office employee, and studied meteorology at Reading
University. But I suspect that course might focus a lot more on the
theoretical side of the subject rather than on practical stuff like
making observations.
