I must admit I am very disallusioned as far as snow in this country is
concerned. Nothing in the models has given me any confidence that we
will get any this year once again. Winter now consists of a frost down
here in southeast and if it sleets it's a siberian winter. I've nearly
lost hope.


But you are in coastal South East England.
From what I understand of the British climate, lowland Southern England
*never* got reliable snowfall in winter, though the odd severe easterly
blizzard always occurred when the conditions were right.
Today of course the chances of this 'perfect storm' seem to be receding
ever more year on year but I don't think there was ever a 'golden age' of
British snowfall. Well not in the last 100 years at least.......
