There was an occasion in the 80's, in fact I may have the sat pic somewhere,
though not on PC. There were ne'lies down the Skagerrak which then curved
into easterlies and se'lies, and dumped huge amounts of snow in the Stirling
/ Ochils area of Scotland. The keen snow anoraks here will know the date.

The Cu started small in the Skagerrak and grew and grew and grew until the
hit the northern side of the Scottish Central Belt.

Anyone got the satpic?

Would be 1980-87, probably the second half of this period.
