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.

Hi, John,
I expect the MetO rules would be abandoned! Personally I would stick a large pole where the most level snow was, graduate it and, with the help of a ladder attempt to measure.
I would have also become sick of the stuff way before then!

Who knows it could be that the washing pole at the top of the garden was exactly 7 feet high!
