I came across this old article by Philip Eden on a snow event to hit
the Channel Island in early November 1980
http://www.weatheronline.co.uk/repor...rd-in-1980.htm

Having looked at the charts for 04/11/1980 - 07/11/1980, they are
similar to those forecast for the Channel Islands for 14th-16th
November
