      Hey All, is it just me or does the snowfall at say 2000mtrs not work anymore?
      When I set the elevation to 2000 and click on 'New Snow' the altimeter drops back to sea level, where of course there is no snow expected!?
      Any suggestions, I'm sure this used to work?
      Cheers
      Adrian

        @Ados69 Hi, we have never offered altitude change in this layer and we offer data on the surface level.

          New snow is not at sea level but at surface which means if you are at 2000m elevation you will see the new snow at this altitude, theoretically.
          Note that this layer is not very accurate if you are in an area where Windy does not offer a high resolution model. Global models with medium resolution are not able to give an accurate forecast at the real altitude for temperature/snow.
