I remember that during the very mild winter of 1974-5, the only lying




snow we had in my part of Surrey was on the morning of Good Friday, if




you can stretch to count that as part of winter. And then of course some




places famously had snow at the beginning of June that year. (After




which the weather did an about turn, and we had a predominantly dry,




warm and sunny summer, if not quite so extreme as the summer the




following year.)

Isn't it true that in most areas of the UK, Easter snow is more common than Christmas snow?


I think that could possibly be because the date that Easter falls varies so much - from mid-March to mid April. Perhaps if Christmas could vary from mid December to mid January it would be Christmas that was far snowier.
