Winds look like they will be coming too much from a westerly direction.
Thats not where snow comes from.



Not often, agreed, but it can happen. I remember an occasion when we had
snow showers in a westerly direct from Labrador. Another time, a low to the
north of Scotland had a slow-moving trough lying to the west of the UK so
that the returning cold air approached us from Biscay. I must admit that it
seemed odd to have snow showers approaching us from that direction.
