"the body itself was discovered at the first available opportunity in its final location"
Yes, but the 'first available....VISIBLE...opportunity in its final location.. Visibility being available AFTER thawing of a heavy snowfall.
No deep snow Mikey, 2'' maximum all week. Christmas morning weather was bone chilling overnight, no snow melt occured that night, or all week. It didn't start to thaw until Boxing day.
Christmas Eve weather and snow depth in Bristol. This is taken in Clifton Down, around 2 miles from Longwood Lane. Jo's body would be found less than 24 hours later. That snow depth can't hide a body IMO.
