Default January 1987, I'll never forget this one.

Perhaps more relevant for the time of year and just as unusual were the
events in June 1975. I was living and working at Caterham in Surrey and at
187 metres altitude on the North Downs at midday on the 2nd it was snowing
with a midday temperature of just 1.5C. A heatwave followed a week later.

I remember sitting in a classroom at Garrett's Green Tech College on that same
June afternoon watching the snow swirling round - and then by the Friday of that
week the temperature was nearly in the eighties!

Somehow I don't see the same thing happening this summer (i.e. getting a similar
warm summer of course!)

Aagh! Every time I learn something new... it pushes something old out of my brain!
