Metcheck reckon over 20 inches of snow could fall in Argyll, with
drifting increasing this substantially.


Hmm, I see they say "in places". As Argyll ranges from sealevel to over
3,000 feet, I guess they're fairly safe in their forecast :-)


Indeed
I just wonder what a forecast of 'snow in NW Scotland' actually *means*.
For areas of the country with such a vast range of heights I would have
thought mention of 'snow above x metres' would be far more helpful than
merely mentioning the area.
