I'd recommend Tabitha's book to give a much better explanation than I can!

Snow clinging to leaves in a hedgerow.

Snow clinging to leaves in a hedgerow.

According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, there is a saying that you can predict the number of snow storms based on the date of the first snowfall.

So here in Newcastle, we had snow on the 19th, meaning 19 more snowstorms before the end of winter!
