Your comments have jogged my memory, Mike, as I remember that by the
20th,21st Dec in 1962,
maxima were at or below -20c over much of northern and central Europe east
of 20degreesE longitude.
It will be interesting to see whether this figure can be achieved this time.


Peter - this is what my diary says for the 21st.

Maxima: Moscow -20C, Warsaw -15C, Belgrade -3C, Berlin -5C, Cologne 4C,
Paris 8C, Brussels 6C, Bordeaux 8C, Madrid 7C, Nimes 6C and Venice 0C.
Coastal Norway was 2C in the S and -2C in the N. Oslo -3C, Stockholm -4C,
Helsinki -16C, Murmansk -16C and inland areas of the N were -16 to -22C.
Iceland was 1 to -3C.

Currently +0.5 C here in Coleraine and had to de-ice daughter's car at
12.30Z


I know George Booth's super 1947 pages:
http://www.eppingweather.co.uk/
"Winter 1947"

But is there any similar site for 1962/63 ?

Thanks
