My father said he had a level 6 inches in that area, so I dont care
what your arrogant snow-loving childish clique think.

Maybe you should think on this - sometimes someone knows more than
you.


But 6 inches equates to almost exactly 16cm, so it would seem that the
Church Fenton reading did not include any drifting, and that Graham was
justified in suggesting that Laura Tobin had no grounds on which to
query it.
