Agreed. Whilst some in our region have reported heavy snow showers and some of these especially in East Anglia may well be correct, I can't recall much in the yellow and orange intensity category on the NW radar indicating this to be the case. In the 80s heavy snow was when you could look up into the sky and see it full of large snowflakes for a long period of time. We have 10cms here and I've not witnessed that once.
