What a contrast to the conditions currently over most of the U.K.
According to my weather diary for Merstham,Sy.started as a schoolboy and
continuing for several years beyond ;
At 7.30 a.m. Thursday awoke to moderate snow,temp 2c and falling.Snow
lying--milk float unable to make it today.
In The D.Telegraph the following day I believe the weather section had
Cardiff registering a temperature of -1c at lunchtime with snow falling and
IIRC the temps in the South of England struggled to rise much above freezing
anywhere that day.
Rainfall equivalent on that date to 6 p.m.BST,and all from snow ; 0.60".
