Going by your next two sentences, did you mean the 1970s?

If my memory serves me well I can only remember 1970 at
Christmas and 78/79. There may have been some falls in rural areas in
other years but only those two years stand out for snow in SE London.

And in Surrey too. The winters from 1970-1 to 1975-6 were all mild, and
1974-5 was exceptionally so. Then the winters turned successively colder
over the next three years. February 1978 had a notable blizzard in the
SW (probably the worst in that region since March, 1891), but the snow
didn't reach Surrey or London (even though the forecast on the preceding
evening had been for it to do so).

Yes, I've heard about that.
It's a good job this group didn't exist back then, Lawrence would have been
on suicide watch when that one failed to happen
