Our snow is also drifting into piles of snow, 3mm depth !

Sorry to be sarcastic Alan.

Its ok Joe I know what you mean :-)
Anyway the deepest snow since 1996 here with around 6" of snow together with
some more deeper drifts in the more exposed areas of the Wirral.
Its starting to slowly melt as temperatures have risen during the afternoon
and evening,
best regards,
Alan
