For sheer depth of snow this year's was beaten on 6th April 2008.
We had over 20cm in 3 hours but it had all gone by late afternoon.
I'm just north of Waterlooville.

Wow! That's impressive. In Cranleigh, Surrey, for a short while the snow
was some of the most intense I've seen. It was also remarkable for being
powdery snow blowing in the wind, rather than the large, wet flakes one
might expect at that time of year. But it only lasted for about an hour
here, between 8am and 9am, so we only had about a third as much as you,
and the last traces had gone by about 2pm.
