Yes I understand that you live in the snowiest area of the UK and it IS a lot snowier than here but the airmass on Friday was the same here as your place yet we did not record the same amount of snow at high altitudes.

Today the air is very marginal and only sustains wet snow at above 300m so I was surprised that you have lying snow at only 200m.

Dew point today -2c all day, max temp 1c the reason we had no thaw.

We had a slight thaw Saturday night/Sunday morning but this was halted by 3pm yetserday and then snow showers started around 4pm and continued all night.

Dew point is currently 2c.

Look at the map below, we managed a foot of snow from showers from the west to NW and we are over 100 miles from the west coast, so you can image what a North or NE flow does here
