Can anyone remember, I think late sixties, when it absolutely poured
with rain during the night, and in the morning there was about six
inches of lying snow? I remember my utter astonishment.

We had some snow in Lincolnshire in early June 1975 I seem to recall.

My astonishement was that the ground was awash with water, completely
soaking, and yet the snow "took".
