You set your standards high if you reckon only a foot or more of snow
counts as "decent". Here in lowland west Surrey, the deepest level snow
I've ever experienced was 18 inches in 1962-3, which was the total of
several falls in late December and early January. I can remember about
three or four other occasions in the last 40 years when there was close
to a foot, the last time being January, 1987. So even before global
warming really set in, it was something on the order of a once per
decade event here.
