so after wanting it to come i can now say… I Hate snow.
Its cost me £300 as i burn out my clutch driving in it on friday. spent an hour on the slip road of the m6 toll road and paid £100 to get recovery home. A 2 hour return journey become a 10 hour trip from hell.
I did build a snow man though, stick pic up tmrw as i cant be arsed to plug the phone in now.

when it snows in a city you don't notice the change with the height as it tends to be all at a similar level. In the hills it's more obvious. The temperature change on a mountain is quite dramatic. Something like a drop of 1 degree celcius for every 100 metres you go up. So whereas in a city it snows everywhere when the temperature reaches a certain level (and the cloud conditions are right), on a mountain you get a bigger variation so there can be snow at the top and none at the bottom
It's not a case of "bam snow" really as you can see from that last photo - there's just a sprinkling of snow, where I took the photo from it had increased to a few centimetres deep, and at the highest point I was the snow was about a metre deep

Jump on a ski lift when its snowing and you can often see it change from rain to snow as you go up in elevation.
