know that December 1981 was ranked one of the coldest December's on record,
but how does December 2008 compare. Is it the coldest since 1981??

The first week was only the coldest here in Coventry since 2002, Rob.

The average temperature in Coventry is 3.5C below average in the first
11 days, but still not as cold as 1995.

And it is going to get milder!
