Exceptional dates (Top 5 by personal preference)
1) December 6th - Ten inch snowfall in 5 hours, falling on top of
an eight inch cover, bringing the whole region to it's knees with
transport chaos for several days.
2) December 8th - The coldest day and night for 15 years.
3) July 4th - First instance of a gale recorded during a
summer month, many branches down and apples!
4) November 2nd - Tremendous hail storm in the middle of the night
5) December 25st - A white Xmas yet again, and the local river
frozen from bank to bank after the coldest month for almost 200 years
and the coldest December recorded. An exceptionally icy evening too
with freezing rain events that spared no surfaces.

Additional comments
One statistic explains everything really. 2010 had more hours of frost
than it had hours of sunshine. And it was actually a very sunny and
rather dry year. The coldest year locally since 1986 and the most
snowy since 1979. December 2010 was historically cold and disruptive.
