I needn't worry then.

My point was that Western Scotland, where I thought we lived, wasn't mentioned. The map that Alex pointed me towards shows that Scotland is a lot simpler in the MO mind than in mine, but we had that thread a couple of months ago. -- Alan White Twenty-eight miles NW of Glasgow.

As Argyll ranges from sealevel to over 3,000 feet, I guess they're fairly safe in their forecast :-) Indeed ![]() I just wonder what a forecast of 'snow in NW Scotland' actually *means*. For areas of the country with such a vast range of heights I would have thought mention of 'snow above x metres' would be far more helpful than merely mentioning the area.

No. Judging by this morning's forecast, there could be little or no snow in Argyll. It's raining *very* hard at the moment. Thunder, lightning and heavy rain here in Holywood, Northern Ireland, at 1300. -- Michael Parry 'The Truth Shall Make Ye Fret' (Terry Pratchett, The Truth) |
