It's crazy, my road is still icy from the first snow fall a week or so ago, it's been rained on and all sorts, it just won't go
Rain? You've had rain? Its been too bloody cold up on Mount Brackley for rain. Snow, snow, and more snow up here.
What do you expect when you live up North? 
Used to live slightly further south (Aylesbury, Bucks), and when we were house hunting, we always commented on how much colder it seemed to be here

Then when we were coming up every weekend to check on the builders, it always seemed to be snowing up here, yet none in Aylesbury 30m away.
Its always had a nickname of Mount Brackley, no idea where it came from, but heard it from a few different people, due to its own little weather system.
I think our house gets it a bit worse when the snow is blowing as the back/northside is exposed - behind our house is a playing field, then countryside for a mile, a small hamlet, then countryside for miles and miles
