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?

Yes John should be snow falling for in the last 50 years for February and similarly snow lying only beaten is for February


Thanks, Graham.
