precipitation falls as snow and how much as hail. In turn, this could affect other variables (e.g. the amount of lying snow which leads to colder winter temperatures). We find that fixing the error can lead to differences that are significant, i.e. when the differences are larger than the spread (i.e

The snowfalls caused travel disruption, with many roads affected by snow, the A9 closed south of Inverness and the Queensferry crossing closed for a time due to the risk of falling ice.
