We are not the 'most of the UK' Snow on the Isle of Wight is so rare it stops everything as the council has nothing to deal with it. Farmers usually clear it. I think being surrounded by water stops it falling as I often look over at the 'North Island' and see the south downs covered in white stuff and here I am in a teeshirt and shorts.
I once gave my five year old son a sledge for xmas. He was 16 and to big to use it when it snowed long enough for it to lay.
