Very, very unofficial, Jan 1977, 6 miles north of Lanark on top of a

Also very, very unofficial, Jan 28th, 1954, at the bottom of a shallow
valley on the east side of Basingstoke, Hampshire with five inches of
lying snow, I recorded -4°F (-20°C). The maximum that day was 27°F
(-2.8°C). The geography master at school took a lot of convincing!
