Guiness Book of Non- Settling Snow

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

Dave 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. |
