Dusting of snow here. Just under 1cm which equates to 0.8mm rain I've melted in funnel

Enough of a dusting in Blackheath to wake up to and make me trumpet "Wahay!" on opening the blinds. As the song goes "One day like this a year will see me right". Clearly from this anecdote a) I'm easily pleased and b) have a low mental age...!

There was absolute pandemonium outside my house earlier this morning. I wondered what on earth it was and ran to the window to investigate to find a dozen schoolkids virtually beside themselves with excitement of playing in the snow. It was good to see such innocent enthusiasm though heaven knows how they'll react if we get a decent fall here. Amazing what a two-year snow drought can do.
The 1cm of snow was all but gone by 1pm to leave a bright, occasionally cloudy day

You did well. /Our/ 1cm was gone by 11am.

Ahh, some "coldies" in the making. (Is it just me who hates the word "coldie"?)

No. It's a ridiculous term, often used by folk who do not like cold weather.
I *could* call such people "mildies", but I don't, as it is childish and
sometimes used in a derogatory manner. Once you have been labelled thus
everything you say is only taken one way as if you are political or
something.

Yes, a puny effort, but the conditions were just right to record my first day of lying snow at 9am since 2013 - a 100% improvement on last winter

An infinite improvement surely? 100% of zero is still zero :-)
Yes, I *am* a mathematician.

Perhaps we should call them "hotties", although that's liable to be
misconstrued.

You were all bloody spoilt in my opinion. I didn't even get a 1cm drift with my partial 1mm covering :-(

If this was 2014 vs 2015 as a cold winter 2015 would be scraping it on an aggregate of 1mm of snow and more frosts.
