As you can see, things were marginal and wet at around 14:00 this afternoon: Then came this beast of a snow shower at 15:30! There's a good 3 inches of snow on the lawn now and I can't see it melting until the rain, sleet and snow mix arrives tomorrow. I love the North Sea! P.S. sorry about the poor quality!

Does anyone know of any instances in the UK where sea breeze initiated storms have occurred? They occur almost daily during the wet season in Florida where the two sea breezes from the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico converge in the middle of the state bringing spectacular thunderstorms. Polk County gets around 25 storms a month in June, July and August. Further convergence areas are then set up by thunderstorm outflows, allowing the storms to rumble on into the night even after the sea breeze dies out. A similar effect occurs in Cuba where the sea breeze from the north meets the sea breeze from the south, although it is less pronounced than in Florida. I also believe it can occur in Italy from time to time. As the UK is also quite narrow I wonder if its possible for a westerly sea breeze to meet an easterly sea breeze to bring thunderstorms? In Florida it usually only occurs from May to September as the sea surface temperatures are in the low 30s, and the temperatures over land need to be higher than this for a sea breeze to set up, but the seas around the UK are far cooler, so sea breezes can more easily affect the UK. If anyone knows of an example of a sea breeze thunderstorm outbreak in the UK I'd very grateful if they could let me know when it happened! I have attached a diagram I found which outlines the phenomenon quite well:

It's always fascinated me seeing a white, snow covered field, and then the field a few metres below completely green! I know it varies with conditions, but what would you say the approx snow line is? I've done a bit of research for my area: When there's wet snow in Brighouse (90m asl) I've found that it starts to settle just up the road at about 150m asl, and when there's sleet in Brighouse, snow settles at about 240m asl
