Just too sheltered from every direction except the west but how many times do you get snow let alone significant snow from the west? Being very close to coast its almost never. We were lucky to even get 7cm in 2010 as a trough came up from around grimsby area and somehow made it here over the pennines and cumbrian fells, apart from that 2 hour snowfall we had very, very little snow. January 2013 we had 8cm from a snow to rain event so didnt even last 24 hours, March 2013 not even a dusting but south cumbria got buried down to sea level. Probably have to live here to believe how bad it is for snow.
