Default Lack of snow!

Erm, no it didn't ... Sorry to disappoint another 'urban myth'. Snow
or sleet showers fell quite widely on 2 June 1975 as far as the south-

Actually, it was a cold front. In Rushden, it started with SW wind and rain,
then a sudden veer to N and a burst of hail, and then ended with a short
fall of large flakes of snow.
