I can remember that one quite well Saint, I was chopping up a tree for firewood at the time, here in from there was a fair bit more than 20cm though more like 45cm and maybe more towards the Mendips. Living here from 1970 most of our best snow events happened with this kind set up.
Sounds great! I was only 10 y/o at the time so have had to check Wetter's Karten Archive for the synoptics.
A rare feast, though, as most of the time the front drags in mild air then blasts through with rain (NYE 2000/01 still stings, man!)
