And a final point

The forecasters keep saying northerly winds

what northerly winds?

it has happened every single cold snap this winter

i open my curtains this morning, to see the direction the clouds are
travelling, and it's west-north-west (off the warm atlantic)

it is NOT north winds

maybe they will more to the north later in the day, when any chance for
showers has gone

Very brief little scatty light spots of rain showers

I can hardly contain my excitement !!

Sat 12th - Beinn a'Mhanaich (710m) above Loch Long, Dunbartonshire
(NS 260940)
Hardly able to stand for the wind, frequent heavy snow showers and a
cm of verglas on any exposed rock..

Snowline was 500m - could be lower, but it was certainly wintery.

I tell you it is perishing on Dartmoor ATM.
Go walking above 400m and that NW-N wind is severe gale at least with
temperatures below 3 deg C.
Some of the most dangerous conditions I have seen this winter.

OK on low ground it is different as you say, but for upland Devon winter has
come back with a vengeance.
