Looking back at the Easter period in Coventry to 1981, we have found
that we have had snowfall or sleet on Easter Sunday in three years
(1983, 1986, 1998), which co-incidentally is the same number of days
on which snow fell on Christmas Day (1993, 1999 and 2004).

I'm not sure that many people would actually dream of a whie Easter
however; those involved in leisure and tourism will take a big hit
financially, threatening many livlihoods away from the Scottish ski
slopes, that is!
