No not today, but I can remember 19 March 1969 when heavy freezing rain
affected west Yorkshire after at least two months of Arctic /continental
easterlies . The rain was prolonged and heavy on this day with the
temperature at or near -2 Deg for much of the day. The weight of ice on the
old mast brought it crashing to the ground. It wasn't lomg before the UK's
largest structure of over 1200 feet was rebuilt to withstand any icing. The
mast in my recolection has not experienced icing to this degree since and
certainly not at such a late date in March!
