A colleague just sarcastically said "it's going to be the coldest
winter since 1947", I can't help but think we are clutching at straws
on this thread ;-)

I was kindly pointed to the excellent Trevor Harley web-site the other day
and I was pleased to find just how common these heavy snowfalls were
throughout the 1960's, even in the warmer winters. This is another one of
those events. I managed to pin the one I had referred to down to one of
three. So it wasn't just a new grandad's nostalgia!

I remember February 1965 very well indeed. Almost unbroken sun with
max temperatures of 28C day after day. I was very impressed.

After two years with temps up to 34C at times, hardly a drop of rain, I
had become less impressed.

In Feb 1965 I had just been posted to RAF Khormaksar, Aden (now Yemen)
