The claim that Bishop's Stortford often gets snow is untrue, and the assertion that this is due to 'being near the coast' even more daft. Coastal areas tend to get less snow than inland areas, not more. This section has clearly been written by someone quite young who a) thinks the last couple of harsher winters are typical (they're not), and b) has a poor understanding of physical geography. 

 BTW When the hell are the 'edit' buttons finally gonna get moved so that they appear in the box of info they actually relate to, not the box below!!!!!! Grrrrrr!!!
