errr... no! Plus there would be considerably less landmass - surely.
Am i missing a point here?

dont know. Not a trick question, more one to ponder as it just popped into my head (as things are prone to do!)
water was used to set the scale.. ( well one scale of many.. )
0 being when it froze and 100 when it boiled..
and that's pure water ( ie H2O and nothing else.. )
the addition of pollutants does indeed lower the freezing point, which is why slat works.
that's also at sea level as air pressure affects the boiling point ( not sure about freezing point though... )
as a side note, water is at it's densest at 4°C.. either side of that and it expands.. which is why ice floats..

yes?
as a standard. 1Kg of water @4c occupies 1Lt 1000cm2 its a defined standard.

To answer the original question,
As temperatures were around -8 to -5 for a while then yes we would have had all the snow, but it would have melted quicker and some of the latter snow would have fell as rain.
Do I get a prize for answering correctly?

NO! butt out lady, science is mens stuff.

this is true, Im only visiting from a 2 dimensional world
