Que?? :laugh: Do you mean it is now too cold to settle?

If that is the case, let just have spring - it is miserable.

No, it can never be too cold to settle but when it is very dry snow does sublimate i.e. ice changing from a solid to a gaseous state without the intervening state of being a liquid. 

As it happens I see the cu is now building up more, the temp is now +1 C :angry:, however the radar shows showery activity over Holland and the North Sea heading in our direction.

So now you tell them that they didn't want it enough so you kept it all for yourself, and if they apologise you might sort them out tomorrow:rofl:

I'm not promising but that might just work lol.

Good, need more cloud cover. In 20 minutes under the sun everything is melting fast. It's a big drip drip orchestra.

It's actually quite interesting to watch and I've not seen it before - the shower we had left a dusting which disappeared from the paths and shed rapidly, now another shower pushing in and snow settling immediately on the same surfaces.

mm would be rain, with snow it is generally 8-10 times more iirc so it is predicting close to 20cm

That maybe the case. I was confirming that on the model/forecast 1992 was mentioning was infact in mm not cm. If you think the general rule is x10 then all power to you. However, i think you'v got more chance of me playing upfront for town than that happening...come to think of it i think most people could do better than who we'v got atm. I hope im wrong though and we do get those amounts

Most frustating thing about this spell of weather  it misses our town and you here just down the road it is pouring down with snow ,snow shield is working well here ,when we do get a shower it only lasts a couple of minutes.

They can throw down Artic snow proportions into Chelmsford, just just settling!  Very frustrating really and surprising.
Just had a persistent, heavy fall, the ground is now damp as it has all "sublimated" ...

Need to be educated here!  Why is snow failing to settle in Chelmsford?  Just had a heavy-ish shower with large flakes but as soon as they his the ground, they melt!  The temp is around freezing and dew point must be favourable??  :cc_confused::cc_confused::unknw:

Basically the air is just above freezing so the surface in contact with it is just above freezing hence the melt if just a few flakes land on it. Sun in addition causes some very slight heating in between showers.
