Ah but even the DT today reports (p6) that 'Temperatures across
southern Britain yesterday did not fall much below 4F...'. They're
obviously preparing us for the forthcoming global cooling but still
glad that it wasn't that cool in my neck of the woods.

Reminds me of an article in our local newsletter about Winter 130
years ago. 19 Dec 1874 newspaper reporting that the overnight low was
2F (-16.6C) a bit later 2 Jan 1875 -1F at 0900 (-18.3C), though it
does also say that the weather was a bit severe.

We are warm today almost up to 2C, gently thawing the 10mm or snow
from this mornings light shower. This is the 4th day were the temp has
struggled to get above 0C all day.
