We had 24cm according to my ruler which is about 9.5 inches which is a good length anyday!! In Coulsdon, Surrey some 8 miles further out, there was 40 cm which is 16 inches.

Now, with the limited number of snowploughs and gritters available in the Croydon area, they have done pretty well to get all primary roots open. As the schools are all closed, I would have though all able bodied boys over the age of say 14 should have been required to report for snow clearing duty!
