Weather: a wet May makes hay, but what will snow do?

Telegraph
" In another twist to a year of bizarre weather patterns, the Met Office warned parts of the South West and Wales could witness rare scattered flurries, while other Northern areas reported snow on Monday. Britain is expected to shiver through one of the coldest May days in years, with daytime temperatures 10C colder than usual. While higher ground areas face "wintry" hail, sleet and snow on Tuesday night, forecasters said it is unlikely to settle. In Scotland snow is still on the mountains. A month's worth of rain is also due to fall in the same areas, as well as the Midlands, while the rest of the country faces colder than usual conditions. In the south, temperatures will struggle above 6C (42.8F) while in the east and north it will also be cooler than usual at between 10C (50F) to 12C (53.6F)."
