Being only 9 years old at the time, the winter of 81/82 was my first taste
of 'real' snow, it was amazing as all the snowfalls experienced before
amounted to nothing more than a slight dusting.

Was the 14th of January a Saturday? If so, I think I remember that day very
well, it was sunny with a cloudless sky but bitterly cold. The next day
warnings were issued on the television (just before Space 1999) for people
to stay indoors as severe weather was expected, that Sunday afternoon I
remember a complete whiteout as strong winds and blizzards set in. That
evening it started to thaw and the next day there was snow, slush & water
everywhere.

That sounds more like Sunday 13th December, 1981.
