Typically, I can't lay my hands on my copy of Manley ("Climate and the
British Scene") just when I need it, but I do recall his description of a
westward-moving February low, (1920s?) which put a fair bit of snow onto
the eastern Pennines.

I remember, as a teenager, looking longingly at the set-up (he included a
pressure chart in the description) and wondering if and when it might
occur again. I can't recall that happening but I think it must have done.

I'll be interested to see how this one compares to previous incidents.
And if anyone can flesh out that reference to Manley, I'd appreciate it.
