Snow Factor is a ski area in United Kingdom, at about 8 m. Its mapped area is about 0.2 km across.
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 23 cm of snowfall a season, 2,958th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 3rd in the United Kingdom. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2017/18 (43 cm), brought more than 5 times as much as the leanest, 2024/25 (8 cm). February is usually the snowiest month, with about 8 cm.
Snow depth and the seven-day outlook appear here once snow starts to fall. Until then, the long-run record comes first.

We do not show a snow depth here. The weather model we use reports snow lying on the ground — it knows nothing about grooming or snowmaking, and it is not the base depth a ski area publishes. In Japan we can check our figures against 234 weather stations. Outside Japan there is nothing to check them against, so we do not print a number we have not verified.

When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in February. March brings 71% of January’s snowfall. That is in line with the median for ski areas in the United Kingdom (71%). In amount, March brings 5 cm, more than the median of 3 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 23 cm, and 8 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2024/25 with 8 cm; the biggest was 2017/18 with 43 cm (5.4 times as much). For 33% of the 9 ski areas in the United Kingdom, the leanest winter was the same 2024/25: bad winters tend to hit a whole region at once.
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
