Default [WR&OBS]Copley snow report 21/11/2015

Yes, the Redfearn sisters. They also recorded the deepest level snow
ever recorded in England in March 1947 at 83 inches, 211cm.The actual
metform is at Exeter


Measuring snow that deep must present quite a challenge. How would one
go about it? I assume that one can't just add the depth of successive
falls, even if it's been below freezing throughout, because of
compaction and sublimation.
