I am getting my old JVC tapes onto DVD (which is why the Barncam is
offline) and was looking at some tape I shot during the February
half-term 1996 (ie, just 9 years ago) where we had our last
significant
snow event here in Norfolk.

Really? Haven't the last few 2000s winters - 2003, 2004, etc. -
delivered anything much for Norfolk? I always thought that they
affected the east side of the United Kingdom more?

What about the following 1997 winter? That winter would have been just
as cold as 1995 *if* the November of 1996 had occurred in, say, that
horribly mild February that we had in that following year?
