Does Bishop’s Waltham often get snow?
Snow falls on a few days each winter, usually light and short-lived. Heavy accumulations are uncommon due to the mild, maritime influence from the nearby Solent.
Is the weather very different from Southampton?
Bishop’s Waltham sits slightly higher on the South Downs, so it can be a degree or two cooler and a little wetter than coastal Southampton, but the difference is small.
