Just been looking at the old charts from February 1969, my
snowiest February on record.
21 days snow lying (still a record in the last 50 years) and 24 days
snow lying only beaten by February 1978.


Should the first "snow lying" be "snow falling"? When you talk about a
record, is that a record for February or for any calendar month?
Similarly does "only beaten" refer to February only?
