What I've learnt from this 'historic' cold spell is that even with a rare set of meteorological events producing a legendary 'Beast from the East' my lowland east coast location hardly gets any snow, even though the wind was coming off the same sea as it was in Kent, Norfolk, Suffolk, Lincolnshire, N.Yorkshire, Northumberland which all saw impressive snowfalls, and towns cut off our total for the past week was 1.5" (4cm) and that all fell in two heavy showers, one on Tuesday morning the other Wednesday night, which had virtually disappeared by first light...if anyone has any ideas how this can actually happen I'd like to know them, 30yrs I waited for something like this to come along...! my family don't appreciate how depressing this week was...I can sympathise entirely with Reef, however I live 15 miles further east on the coast in Withernsea so we also have the salty sea air to contend with too, and with the gale that was blowing for 3 days it's effect was massive, Hedon got more snow than we did...I saw at least 2" in places on Tuesday morning as I slowly drove through to work...still snow cover on the ground in Hull y/day...!

You are complaining about your couple of cms or was it 3cm?

There's a member on netweather called reef, he's been recording weather data for his location for over 30 years.

Do you what know his greatest snow depth was? 1cm

Do you know where he lives?

I'm pretty sure the user in question hasn't recorded more than 1cm since 2013, not 30 years.
