Temperatures are perpetually between 5 and 12c with heavy drizzle, so the chances of snow there are slim to none. My comment in reference to areas in the British Isles which are guaranteed snow cover on an annual basis still stands.

Norwich gets 5 to 10 days of lying snow in an average year.

Parts of Northern Ireland get less than 5.

East Anglia hasn't even seen a FLAKE of snow this winter.

That does not change the long-term averages.

All of East Anglia sees 5 to 10 days of lying snow on average.

December 2016 was very mild, so wasn't an average month.

5 days spread out over the entire year is around 2 days over winter.

I have 90-100 days of lying snow love.

Uh, no. East Anglia gets 0 days of lying snow between March and November.

It's 2-4 in January, February and December.

Why is nearly everything you post wrong?

Um? 12 months in a year. Do you want me to list all the months for you?

By that logic, our average of 4.5 days per year above 30c means that we get just over 1 day of 30C+ in each season.

Almost every day for the last couple of weeks you have been saying "expecting snow later" & you have had none lol

I had snow fall on two days.
