On this day in 1979, the day's maximum temperature was -1.3Cin
Coventry; we had heavy snow with drifting in our region, and with
drifts 1 foot deep,

I had to walk into work to take the morning's weather readings at
Bablake as the city came to a halt, with schools and businesses closed
for a few days- now it only takes an inch of snow, if that!

It's a good job the weather readings didn't stop just
because of the snow!
