Are you sure that you aren't thinking of 1985? (Though, looking at
Weather Log, I see that Jan 84 did have quite a bit of snow in nortern
areas, though not in the south.)

I certainly remember a fair bit of snow in Leeds in both January
1984 and 1985. Enough for my school to be closed

Even in the soft South, we were made of tougher stuff back in the 1960s.
My Surrey school was never closed even during 1962-3, though it's only
fair to point out that the heaviest snow mostly came during the
Christmas holidays.


And my school never closed in the winter of 78/79. :-(
