I've no way of checking this but, measured in terms of the number of
hours with snow falling, I suspect that this has been the snowiest week
here for quite a number of years. Even today, when there isn't all that
much snow in the south, it has been snowing throughout the daylight
hours apart from the period 0915-1155. It snowed last night and there
was almost continuous snow yesterday.

Global warming or not, all it takes is the right synoptic situation.
