March 1963 was actually quite Springlike...

I was working in Cardiff in March '63 and I think I remember the first
two weeks(?) as being anything but spring like. There was a lot of
snow lying and some further falls with very low temperatures.

I think your memory may be playing you false with the dates. Here are
some Cardiff max temperatures for early March from Mike Tullett's site:

March 1 6C
March 2 6C
March 3 8C
March 4 9C
March 5 11C

That's as far as Mike's site takes it.
