I do recall on January 2, 1964, that after the 9:00 BBC News the map
showing the weather forecast chart for the next day had the one word
"Blizzards" for the south and Midlands, which was so remarkable that it
stuck in my mind. (Even that winter did not always deliver. Though the
Midlands I believe got the promised blizzards, after an inch or so of
snow in the night we had drizzle with a temperature of 1C. By
mid-afternoon the drizzle had stopped and we were back below freezing. I
shouldn't really complain as we already had close to 18" of snow on the
ground from earlier falls.)

I expect you'll have stopped the obvious typo. For 1964 read 1963.
