Snow ? What Snow ?

So we braced ourselves for heavy snowfall, possibly Blizzard conditions. It started well, about 2cm within 30mins at around midnight. Went to bed and this morning ? Most of it has melted and there is hardly anything. Nice sticky stuff, perfect to make a snowman, but not even enough to close the schools. Such a shame, considering most of Europe has a bank holiday today I was hoping we would be able to join them in a duvet/snow-day. No such luck...
