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.

I will never understand this, you walk up a mountain and bam snow? if its cold enopugh to fall as snow there then why not just 100 yards lower?

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

i live on top of a hill and you can sometimes see that the upper part of the trees have snow on them and the lower parts don't, you can see an exact line under which its too warm for snow
