Only 3 in the last 31 years then Keith?
A grand total of twelve here in the last 40 years - which it seems many
people managed in 1986 alone.



Yes, Alex. At my site in Chalfont St Giles, Buckinghamshire there were 10 ice
days in Feb 1986. The max temp for the month was only 3.0. There wasn't a lot
of snow, though. The deepest that I recorded was 7 cm.
