Why is it so difficult to forecast when it will snow?
It’s most likely because weather experts say snow is the hardest kind of weather to predict.
This is largely due to forecasters being unsure as to whether a given area will see snow or just rain.
Speaking previously local weather expert Ian Currie said: “We’re talking about very dynamic, complex systems. A weather front could be thousands and thousands of miles away, but if it arrives just a little bit off the predicted path, the weather can be totally different.”
He added: “Snow is very hard to predict because in this country we’re so close to that critical point where the temperature drops enough for precipitation to fall as snow.
“In Sweden, you could safely predict that a weather front would bring snow, but here just a change of a couple of degrees could make the difference.”
Although precipitation often falls from the sky as snow, it has mostly melted by the time it hits our streets.
Temperatures at ground level are far warmer than even 25 metres up in the air and the rain we see may well have been snow seconds before it hits the ground.
Mr Currie said: “Snow is very dependant on the height of where you are.
“For every 50 feet, 15 metres or so, you get higher up there is an increased likelihood of an extra day of snow. So if you take parts of South Croydon for example, Sanderstead and Selsdon, you are likely to get 10 more days of snow a year there than parts in the north of Croydon.
“It can change that much in a small distance.
“Again out by Biggn Hill there is much more chance of getting snow than Streatham or Tooting for example.”
