Hi Jim - guess this is just the time to watch the temp and dewpoint-
and just keep your fingers crossed (if you want snow!)
My concern down here is that we could get a really serious dump of
rain during the day.

In the "old days" when folks could see a cm of snow on the ground and carry on regardless, these marginal situations made little difference to the tone of the media weather forecasts.
Now, with several generations of 'schoolboys who never grew up' in charge, the threat of three flakes of snow anywhere below 1500ft has the entire country whipped up into a frenzy by the media; and everyone wants to know precisely when and where the three flakes are going to fall, so that they can close schools, libraries, road distribution depots, etc. for the following 48 hours and get another holiday from work.
