It's not so much the temperature as the amount of 'warm' rain that you
get. My time as a "Munro Bagger" brought home to me just how much snow
can disappear from a mountain side by a lot of rain in an active warm
sector in just 24 hours.

The latest ECMWF has a run of SW's from the 27 to the 1st of February and
by the end of that you may be scratching to find much snow on high ground
anywhere in the UK.


Ah well my winter wonderland was good while it lasted, back to the green
fields & flooded roads again next week
Best January spell of cold & snowy weather here for years, that includes
January 2010!
Driving home from Leek tonight reminded me of the awesome winter of 1979,
most snowiest I've ever seen, only difference was the snowy weather lasted
for months not two weeks
May get a bit more snow Friday otherwise it's rain, rain and more rain YUK!!
