Hello Everyone,
I know this is a strange question , but I saw someone asking on a weather site, when did Sussex last have 50 cm of lying snow. That is 18 inches or thereabouts. I have a vague idea. Because if they had that amount, us here in S cambs would be close. I say January 1982. Does anyone care to challenge that one.

I distinctly remember about 15 inches of snow on the ground in February
1991 in Eastbourne. Probably more inland at the same time.

In January 1987 we had about a foot lying, and a similar amount in January 1982. For as much as 18 inches here, I think you would have to go back to January 1963. However, in February 1991, when we only had about 6 inches here, I believe that amounts were considerably deeper the further east that you went, so it's not impossible that parts of East Sussex might have had something approaching 18 inches. -- John Hall "Honest criticism is hard to take, particularly from a relative, a friend, an acquaintance, or a stranger."

Last time I am certain Bedfordshire had 50cm level was March 1947. |
