Boxing Day 1985
got quite excited. This wet snow carried on for about 3 hours and then
suddenly it began to settle. By 7.00 pm there was quite a covering. A
depth
built up to around 6 inches or so.
It must have been a particularly boring maths lesson but in my old exercise
book there is a little comment scrawled in the corner of the page: "rain
turning to snow, oh yes!" dated the Thursday 7th Feb. I seem to remember
that maths was in the afternoon so it would have turned to snow around
2-3pm, that was in Worcester.
It was remarkable in the fact that it started off raining then turned to
snow and then froze.
