Winter Camping -Whats going on with the weather?

I saw snow on the mountains near here the other day but thought nothing of it as we have continued to have good weather. This area claims to have a special micro climate but how many times have we heard tourist Boards etc say that?! I am slowly and reluctantly beginning to believe its true though. OK so its only 10 degrees in the morning but during the afternoon its hot enough to sunbathe. I was amazed to see these pics on Facebook of an are approx 30_40 miles down the road. I have also taken a screenshot of this weeks weather for here...I couldn't make this up! I watched the BBC weather forecast last night and I know where I'm staying! Lol
