The lowest max on the last day of the year? Delving into my
records, I found that 1978, 2001 and 2008 all registered the
31st December as being the coldest day of the year.


I remember December 31st, 1978 very well. In my part of Surrey a
cloudless sky, two to three inches of powder snow on the ground and a
maximum of about -5.
