There was heavy snowfall in Bracknell on 4 Mar 1965, with a
minimum of -10°C overnight. I was working there at the time. Later
in the month (29th) the temperature reached 24°C, after an overnight
min of 0°C. An interesting month.

Heavy snow on the 4 Mar 1970 with 25 cms and drifts up to 2 feet deep.
There were many other falls during this amazing month with 16 days of
snow falling and 12 days snow lying.
I recorded a total of 40 cms throughout the month.
You would be hard pushed to get any of our Winter months to compete with
that these days.

Mind you it was an amazing Winter really with:
