Here's one to take you back to the good old nostalgic days,
remember it well, Ventnor was cut off for 10 days, the old man
was pouring the milk down the drain as the milk lorry couldn't
get through..

Interesting that the forecast on the page mentioned the incursion
of rain or freezing rain into the SE for a while.

And IIRC the forecast was correct for my part of Surrey. There was
drizzle in the morning with a temperature of about 1C, By the afternoon
it was dry and by mid-afternoon the temperature had dipped below
freezing again.

I can't remember much about recent weather events, but I can remember a
lot of the 1962-3 winter in some detail.
