Teaser. But a few days times covers the weekly forecast for the 25th
when it "always" dumps a load on us.

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

Inches up to 20 or so then feet and inches but then I'm of an age
where "meters" are things with waggly needles in them not a mesurement
of distance. A few 1/1000ths or 1/100ths are OK but nothing bigger.
Indeed I've been know to measure something as 1 foot 2 inches 3.5mm...
