Please can I make an entry! Despite the fact that the temp has risen
to a massive 1.7C, the ground started frosty, the early morning snow
settled, and several hours of almost uninteruppted moderate with
heavy bursts of snow - it still won't settle. You can tell me all the
things about solar radiation (we've had 20 mins direct today!) and
SST's but I've never seen, in forty years of looking, snow failing to
settle in February with these temperatures and conditions. RH of 100%
could be more the problem maybe. Anyway, cleared now, hope for same
amount overnight which might do better. Don't give tomorrow's system
much chance if this didn't do anything though.

Well it is LATE February and soil temps before this cold spell were probably
above normal...

Yes I find that the probability of lying snow seems to be inversely
proportional to how hopeful I am!

Even 200m asl in the north downs it refused to settle. A real pain in the
ass.
