I like this. It just shows the difference of being on the other side
of
the North Sea. A whole winter with a mean below 0C is exceptional for us
and
has only been done just 3 times. 1963, 1740 and 1684. You have a
substantial
list below 0C.


snip The Netherlands certainly have a more continential climate than
Britain, Gavin. A few miles east can do a lot, I often compare our data with
German sites, just beyond the border. Of course the North Sea also has its
influences. I sometimes wonder how the climate on both sides of the North
Sea would change if the Sea weren't there. Oh, who knows ;-)). Pity a
life-time can be too short to discover.
