It's almost like they just take the raw output from the model they are given in the long range forecasts. When using the MetOffice data they would often give a variety of options and take their hunch on what was the most likely. To keep things on topic however I can finally report a cm or two in most spots of snow cover. Mind you I have seen some impressive icicles.
Some light snowfall, can't help but say that this spell has been dissapointing for my parts so far, currently at a spariodic 2mms at best eather than 1-2cm. But there is still some time for that to change!
Looking much better for my parts now, was worried looking at some of the models earlier but a system with this extent could end up with lots of areas on the higher end of the forecasted snow levels.
Pretty disappointing here in Teddington compared to the event two weeks ago. No snow settling at all, just a cold brisk wind with flakes floating about all day.
Don't post here often but I have to agree, this spring has been like a better 2018 (which was rather good) so far, watching the models with great anticipation.....
