There is no way that 1997-98 can be described as snowy. And of those two snowfalls you mentioned that occurred during the winter season, did any last more than a day or two on the ground? 

 

no but it's better than nothing! were good events, agree though not as snowy as 95-96 and 96-97

Yes, I remember that Christmas being exceptionally mild.  I got a digital thermometer that year and temps were around 13C for most days between Christmas and New Year, courtesy of Uncle Bartlett!
