Thanks both, I shall put some time aside to digest all that info.
I suspect there may be some correlation between solar activity, namely sunspot numbers and known flood events in Cockermouth. There are various theories that low solar activity can affect the jetsream. I might look into this. One thing I firmly believe is the flooding is part of a cyclical process and not global warming.

(March 22 13 produced such amounts in the far west of the county but not here).
March 2013 was extremely localised, with enormous falls just a few miles from areas with little or none. I remember visiting grasmere a week later on April 1st couldn't believe how much they'd had. They must have had around a foot!

Hi, the best snow I've experienced was from a stalled front in West Cumbria during February 1996. I remember heavy snow falling from 8am on the Monday morning, continuing all day and night. I was snowed in for a week with 18" level snow depth and drifts of 6' plus. It buried my mini I had at the time! The coastal village of St Bees was completely cut off and food deliverys were undertaken by boat from Whitehaven. A truly remarkable period from an area that usually receives little snow.

Well what an interesting winter this has been. Against all the odds here in Cockermouth we have had 2 appreciable snowfalls and a couple of hail/ice events. For somewhere that struggles to get a fall of lying snow in the best of winters. I'll take that!
