This winter 17 days snow falling, 15 days complete cover at 0900 and
it's still there, max depth 12cm and it's only mid January. Likely to
be one of the more impressive winters of my league table (since
1979). Update daily on the website - click on snow

We've had 18 days snow falling, 18 days snow lying this winter so far
and have 6 cms lying now.
What I was trying to say is most places while having widespread snow
haven't had big falls of 15 cms or more!


Good grief! Some people are never satisfied. Individual falls of 15cm
over more are always going to be pretty rare. After all, even with dry
snow they required about 15mm of rain, which is a pretty wet day. With
wet snow, they need even more.
