Certainly wasn't snowless around here. Fleet pond was frozen for a couple of weeks IIRC and that is at 60m asl.
I think maybe you're thinking of another spell?
Looking at the Farnborough data for that month (March 2013), there was only one day with a mean temperature below freezing, and that was the 11th with a max of +0.7C and a min of -2C.
There were three days when snow fell; the 11th and the 12th when Farnborough recorded no measurable precipitation, so these must have just been flurries. The main snow day was 23rd which in Arborfield was much like yesterday morning; wet snow struggling to stick and almost making the grass look white. It certainly wasn't enough to make a snowman, or even a snowball.
I know places further east, Kent for example, got some decent snow. But for Arborfield (and that's only 6 miles from your house) it was one of those disappointing spells in terms of decent snow, much like December 2010 when we also got short changed, and in fact the whole of this winter so far! Compare that to April 2008 when we had nearly 5 inches of snow on the 6th.
