I think that the forecast was pretty much spot on (up to now) as on the BBC radar the snow fizzled out over the North West during the morning and only intensified (or the other front joining) later this afternoon and overnight.
Yes, it was a disappointment to see SO much snow fall and 90% melt on impact, but hopefully tonight with lower temps and lower DPs that we should get a nice cover. Who knows eh?
I'm at work at the moment, what are the latest BBC weather forecasts showing?
