"The area received quite a bit of snowfall that further hindered training."

This comment on polishsquadronsremembered.com about the snow issues was particularly key:
"On February 3 1941, the squadron received its first aircraft, Hurricane MkI (L1740), followed by several others in a next few days. The Squadron's first training flights started on February 8th. There were many problems with newly arrived aircraft, which needed a lot attention and the ground personnel was lacking in number. The area received quite a bit of snowfall that further hindered training."
