The snow was too wet to be called just a "dusting": it snowed heavily for a while but all there was to show for it was about a quarter of an inch of rubbish, which this morning's rain/sleet is clearing.
However, there is a car parked about 30 yards from our house with over 2 inches of snow on its roof. Obviously it settled somewhere near enough for it not to have been disturbed by the driver's journey. My guess would be that altitude was critical and the driver came in from Leigh, which is about 200 feet up and only about 2 miles away, compared to our 50ish feet.
