Richard, Jan 1997 was cold both day and night with 5 or 6 inches of snow,
however, it pails into complete and utter insignificance compared to Jan
1987, where we had some of the lowest temperatures since 1740. In the
centre of Gillingham, my car was completely buried by snow. I had an
enforced week off of work due to the severe snow falls. There were drifts
in many places over 20 feet deep.

It will be 18 years next month since we (the South East) had anything
like an interesting winter - January 1987. We experienced impressive

1987?? Admittedly, that was a nice winter but the winter of 1997 was
also rather cold. At least, that was just across the North Sea here in
the Netherlands.
