Did pretty well for snowfall and cold temps last year, albeit late in the season - three weeks of cold temps, two snowfalls of six and eight inches a week or so apart late jan feb, which laid on the ground for eleven days in the east riding. Well worth the wait! We actually missed the first snowfall by one day ( due to skiing in the southern French alps) but there was plenty of snow for the kiddies to enjoy! Lol best not write winter off yet hey, let's see what happens ..
