Believe it or not, we recorded the earliest ever autumn/winter snow in
Coventry on the 11th of October in 1896!
The last time there was any October snow in our region was back in
1941, though snow has only fallen locally during October on five
occasions since records were first available in the city in 1892 -
these were in 1892 (two days), 1895, 1896 1934 and 1941.
Thank goodness for climate change!
