In 1969+ Hurn record only beaten for lack of sunshine (allowing for
change of instrument) by 1972 & 1976 (latter the lowest .. at least
the summer made up for it).

Of more significance, aggregating the sunshine total for the months
November 2010 - February 2011 (rough CSR equivalent = 195 hr) then it
looks as if we've had the *dullest* such 4-month period in the Hurn
record; previous lowest was 1994/95 with 209 hour (CSR).

The 195 hour total over those four months represents around 70% of the
LTA 1971-2000.

Nice to have my moaning validated!

It was a pretty poor day today. Even had a brief snow shower on Holmbury
hill, Surrey this afternoon. Felt like early January again this
afternoon with the leaden skies making it seem almost dark at half past
four.
