Yes, I know. But it doesn't seem any more unfair to me than the possible
unfairnesses with falling snow that I've outlined. And I like the
suggestion that's been made that lying snow at any time during the day
should count.
I know where you are coming from John.
Out two Coldest December's (1981 & 2010) both had lots of lying snow and
were both ice days, yet they were not classed as a white Christmas.
1976 by comparison had a few light snow flurries and that was classed a
white Christmas, seems a bit bizarre.
