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.

Yes, Simon, there's been hardly any snow in Tideswell this winter. The deepest
we've had here is 4-5cm on 17th Jan. Rather surprisingly, these's been 17 days
with sleet or snow falling during February but the most on the ground was 3cm on
the 3rd.

Nevertheless, the month is ending on a wintry note. There's been sleet falling
since about 2030 with the temp steadily falling from 2.8 at that time to 1.8 at
the moment (2145).

If you feel bad done to at least you've had snow, in this part of mid-Devon I haven't even seen a single snowflake this winter.

The last snow on the ground here was probably in 2010 but I don't keep detailed records.

I think it was more recent than that, Bruce. I can recall at least
one occasion in 2013 where I was crawling along at 20 mph on the
M5 northbound up the hill from J27 to J26!

You're probably right Freddie, I don't get out as much as I should these days!

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.
