London only saw 20-25cm of snow in a few years in the entire 20th century. December 1981 saw the deepest snow in London in the 20th century, 25-30cm in some suburbs. Even in that massive snowfall a few years ago, the maximum depth was 20cm in hilly areas.

But the annual snowfall in London is only around 5cm/2" in an average winter. It doesn't stick around for very long either, usually melts same day or the next day.
Is this a reliable source? However, judging from the graph the average wind speed in London during winter is closer to 8 than to 7kts.

I'm not talking about snow depth, I'm talking about snowfall. They can be very different even if little amounts of snow fall.

It looks like they got the data from the NOAA.
January looks to be somewhere around 7.5kts, but the rest of the year the wind speeds are lower in London.
The Met Office don't keep a record of average snow depths, only days with snow falling/lying. Most snow in London melts as soon as it hits the ground so it's impossible to measure the depth. When it does stick (usually only once a year), it is on average between 2-8cm deep.
I don't think it is as cut and dry as temps. The sunshine and solar angle would be a lot higher in Richmond in winter, and during the day would feel less wintry. In the mornings, Richmond would feel more wintry. In Dec and Feb I would go with London being more wintry due to the 40's temps and damp chilly feeling with low sunshine hours. In January, particularly cold mornings, I would say Richmond would feel more wintry.

We are talking about winter here, and February and December's average wind speed looks just like January's average wind speed.

In Rome the depth is always measured when it snows. Snow measurements are not made on the streets, but on a rain gauge.
Moreover, Rome's average approach 5 cm in its northern outskirts. If you look at the snowfalls history, you would say it isn't more than 1-2 cm. Maybe the average snowfall in Central London is lower than 15 cm given the urban heat island, but the urban area certainly gets more.
Oh really? So I am not "allowed" to "insult" anybody (as you perceived it, I didn't call anybody names), but YOU ARE?
Yes, you are a total hypocrite. Look it up.
And now, what happens between you and me, happens between you and me.
You DO NOT bleat on about people insulting others only to go on and do the same thing yourself, especially when I did not insult you. One day you will learn this lesson. Or one day somebody will just have enough of you pretending to be all righteous and intrusive and smack you in the mouth.
You seriously need to chill out and stop derailing this thread.
