Sorry, I also meant to ask - is it the convention in this newsgroup to report
snow depths above 11 inches in metres or feet ? :-)


No, in centimetres. Though I must admit that to understand how big
values given in centimetres really are I first have to mentally convert
them into inches.

BTW, don't go getting over-excited, Will. You know that the next set of
model runs might all do a volte face. Unlikely, perhaps, but we've seen
it happen only a week or so ago.
