Surely the snowflakes should be raindrops - far more appropriate. (or even a wave?)

.
Snow's coming.

What snowflakes?

Lower Clyde this afternoon, so no doubt krappy driving further inland...

We have 60mm of snow here in Neilston, at 350M, and -1 C.

Nane here, but Ash, when did your snow go metric? We're still behind the curve in Stirling.

I confess that I did start off thinking "there's almost 3 inches of snow"

I've jumped back and forth between imperial and metric throughout my education and working life, but now mainly think and work in metric.

When talking willies 4" = 20cm, a simple conversion, but it's what you do with it that matters.

What a curious way of measuring the depth of snow.

Hah! The industry I was in went metric in 1971. Until then, copper conductors were graded by poundage per mile.

The changes never really caused a problem, except for the wee guys who had trouble stepping out cable lengths in metres rather than yards........

Its taken me 20 years to get used to imperial units. (NZ went metric in 1967).
I remember a guy phoning (work) saying he had " two hundred weight" of steel to process. Not having encountered this unit, I asked how heavy was one weight (in order to get a feel for how heavy 200 weights might be).
