Bruce_Shark Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Which "countryside"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andygardener Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Concrete and bricks and the like retain heat better than mud, vastly more artificial heat sources in the town than the country. I was out dealing with a big old fallen beech this weekend and snow everywhere despite the nice weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aliceBB Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Probably because cities and towns are a bit warmer than the countryside near them (heat from traffic, buildings and people). Also, the traffic tends to churn up the snow whereas you get great swathes of countryside eg fields) without any traffic, so it stays intact.

gym_rat Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 as a general rule of thumb - the countryside round Sheffield is at a higher altitude, not sure if any is above the snow line. generally lower temperature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey104 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Higher ground and slightly cooler. It's a bit sad but at the beginning of the ski season I used to watch the webcams in the ski areas and you could see snowfall start high in the mountains and watch over the weeks as it started to fall lower and lower down the mountain.

Anna B Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 The country is colder. Cities create a micro climate around them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mart Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Me and a friend having a small argument could anyone shed any more light on the matter, I looked online but couldn't find much. What was your opinion as to why there was more snow in the countryside, and what was your friend`s opine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 What was your opinion as to why there was more snow in the countryside, and what was your friend`s opine? Just wondering...read this word "opine" on other threads. Is there a difference between "opinions please" and "opines please". Or...is it laziness . Back on topic.....it snows more in the countryside. I'm sure many of us listen to weather forecasts... Tomorrows expected temperatures are often quoted as "x degrees..colder in rural areas" Err...rural is countryside. Colder =snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
