That produced a snowstorm to remember here Stuart. Severe drifting and 18
inches of snow, Followed by severe frosts on the next few nights (-13.1ºC
was the low at this site).
I'm not so sure it was anything to write home about in Keith's neck of the
woods though?
But I would have to say that particular winter started long before late
February, with a very memorable Christmas period (late december 2000). There
was 4 inches of snow here on that instance and more remakably, more than 120
continuous hours of sub-zero temperatures.

http://www.wetterzentrale.de/archive...0120010227.gif

Roads blocked for days, No electric for 5 days Big drifts, evening
lows -10
to -18°C ......absolute chaos!

Take a look at the archive gfs for this period, it was a low over Norway
that decided to tracked back accross the North Sea, These retrogressions
(I
think thats the right word) don't happen often, but when they do it is
always interesting!
