Hello Ken

As I sit here down South I often enviously look at some of the Pennine
webcams. A particular favourite is the one situated at Low Row in Swaledale.

What I don't understand is the number of occasions you report snow in Copley
(as above) whereas the Swaledale webcam seems to show only a sparse and
patchy cover. Given that you are both at a similar altitude and not a
million miles away from each other this is bemusing.

Do you or anyone else know why this should be?

Many thanks.

Tony
