Some similarities with 1963 - seriously

Obviously, this winter shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as
1962/63 or any other serious cold spell, mainly because we haven't
had a single 'ice day' ( max below freezing) in this area. My lowest
max was a mere 2.0c which I noted yesterday. What is remarkable, as
Dave has already mentioned, is that I too have had 13 consecutive
'snowfall days'. I cannot remember such a long sequence, certainly
not in 1986, 1979, 1963, 1956. I suppose Feb 1947, whch had frequent
snowfalls, must be a contender. Although I remember that month I
wasn't keeping weather records then. Can anyone help? Peter Clarke
