Seems ludicrously high to me

In Penzance, over the last 22 years (1992-2013 inclusive), the averages a-

Snow Fall 2.7 days
Snow Settled 1.3 days
Ground snow covered @ 09:00 0.7 days

These averages are heavily influenced by 2010, when the figures were 16, 12, and 9 days respectively. 11 of the 22 years saw no snow settling.
