I think there was just generally more snow there than in Southampton.
It was noticable just the difference between the city centre and
Chilworth (1-2" in the centre compared to 3" at Chilworth). There was
6-8" in Basingstoke...

It's remarkable how much snow amounts can change over a short distance.
Here in Cranleigh, Surrey, we had about 7cm overnight Sunday/Monday. I
had a report of 14cm in Bramley, 5 miles to the NW, and there was around
25cm in Guildford, another 4 miles or so further north.
