I was down at Whitstable today and noticed on the wall at the fish market
the following story: "On 15th February 1929 the sea froze, one of several occasions when this occurred. As the oyster beds lay some 2 miles off the coast the crews has to walk across the frozen sea to their boats." - which I thought was quite impressive. Are there any statistics anywhere of the sea freezing round our Isles (and its extent?) - I'm aware of this happening in 1963. Certainly on this (1929) occasion it was a cold one: -15c 850mb temperatures or less over the Southern North Sea: http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/ar...0219290215.gif Richard |
