One thing that caught my eye is that, in comparison to snow, sleet is
relatively less likely in March and April than in the winter months.
Presumably that's because there tends to be a steeper temperature
gradient with height in spring than in winter when cold air is advected
to the UK, so that partial melting as it falls of what starts as snow is
less likely.

Hello John, I wonder if you may have mistaken the column marked SL to stand
for sleet. I do not have any statistics for snow verses sleet in that table,
and the SL there stands for 'snow lying'.

Yes, I made that - rather stupid - mistake. Sadly I find that such silly
errors are becoming more frequent as I get older.

Thanks for clarifying.

Interesting. I guess we are really comparing the difference between the
1970s and the 2000s here as the other years are the same in both sets.

I've put my 1971/2000 & 1981/2010 monthly temperature averages at
http://penzanceweather.atspace.com/wpage2.html . They show a very
similar change.

For comparison I've also put the Penzance monthly averages for
1861-1880
and 1961-90
