If less than 30cm is due, local forecasts don't bother mentioning it." Imagine that attitude here !! Question for you (and anyone else not in UK)............does your local TV news encourage you to send in pictures of snow, or does that just happen here ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They ask for it in the south of the state because anything over a scattering is fairly uncommon but there are several ski resorts in the state too so it's not really something they ask for. NOAA severe weather warnings usually come with a warning not to travel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
