I know that snow depth is measured at a select few sites, accessible at weatheronline.co.uk. If they have long term averages of snowfall, I don't know why they wouldn't want the public to have access to this information just the same as they have access to the average rainfall.
Indeed, but they probably have lots of data we don't know about - they don't have records for each month on their climate station averages, even though they obviously exist, and they don't have mean first freeze days etc even though I'm sure such data exists.
Snowfall here averages around 32 in (80 cm). New Brunswick only averages 28 in (72 cm) due to minor UHI effects and presence of a large water body (the Raritan river). I live in a more barren locality further from water. So, its usually 1-2 F cooler than New Brunswick 8 miles north of us and in many cases that's the difference between snow and rain.
Here on the desert of northern Nevada at about 4,350ft elevation about 40 miles south of Reno our average is about 20in.
But as typical, there are extremes. From a few inches in any given winter from November to March, to five feet in one week in January 2005. Go to the same elevation on the west side of the mountains and you'll get triple what we get. We got our first measurable snow for the 2013-14 season last Sunday night/Monday morning October 27-28. Only about 3/4".
