Default Almost Snow Free Winter - Sheffield

In message ,
Simon S writes
With the exception of 17th January there was no snow cover in Sheffield
throughout the winter of 2015-16. Even this snow was almost all gone by
late morning. I cannot remember a winter with quite as few snow days.
There was also a brief snow cover back in November and I am sure spring
with provide some interesting moments. One thing that was different
this winter compared to other mild winters is the lack of snow up on
the Peaks where I would usually head off to get my snow fix.

In Cranleigh there was one morning during the brief January chilly spell
(one could hardly call in a cold spell) when there was about 1cm of snow
lying at 9am. That was the first morning with snow lying since 2012-3,
if my memory is to be trusted.
