I think the recent north-westerly also followed this theme, as pretty much everywhere from the North Midlands up received some snow, and the south none.
Can anyone describe the difference and patterns between cold snaps coming from northeasterly and northwesterly winds? I kind of know but can't describe it. Personally I like nor'easter's better.
The first wintry shower suprisingly arrived for me on the 20th November, and I live in the East Midlands. That day was foggy throughout and drizzle fell as sleet in the early morning when temperatures were low.
First significant snow came on the 4th December in the evening but lasted a mere 2 minutes.
I've been wondering what peoples views are of the features of cold snaps delivered by Northeasterly and northwesterly winds, and the comparison/contrast between them? I sort of have an idea, but can't explain it.

Indeed, higher humidity levels decreases the chance of snow.
You can calculate the probability of snow at a temperature and certain humidity and also find out the melting air temp for that % humidity with this calculator.

I know I'm probably pushing it, but does anyone think any wintry showers could make it to Leicestershire, causes my village is forecast for "scattered flurries" on MSN Weather tomorrow evening?
I think there may be some minor snowfall as far down as my location tomorrow evening and Monday. Probably of no significance unless in North England and Scotland.
