I live close to our beloved Tom, and his records have been published.
Imagine the enthusiasm of those early days! An enthusiasm that
continues - but I feel the excitment - instead of just interpreting
numerical progs.
I think I have seen the best years of the Office 1960-1991.
I thought that Barker merited a Wikipedia article, and there was enough
material available online for me to write one. The piece can be found

It draws heavily for its information on the article that I mentioned at
the start of this thread.

I shall have to do these years:
Snow began to fall in January and then "it froze most days & every
night till February 16 ... February 2 when the Ice was thickest I found
it 11.5 In. thick in a pond ... The Effects of this frost were many &
destructive...".
It will be nice to get back in the swing of things. Or how can I tell
it wasn't a negative NAO?
Anything on the database for hurricanes that year? Or large mag
earthquakes?
