Anyway, I hope some of you find it an interesting read. I'll be revisiting it on March 1. Best regards, Scott Whitehead

Super stuff Scott and a more balanced and realistic approach.

I keep dwelling on this March's cold record, being the coldest since 1962, with the infamous winter that followed, and have noticed a similarity in the charts during this November and 1962, but December may differ.

January 1987 was the most snow I have ever seen in Southend-on-Sea and I took loads of super 8 film at the time. I remember recording -7°C as a maximum on one day and about 3 feet of level snow. No two years are ever the same, but it will be interesting what pans out this winter.
