I've written a few lines on my memory of the opening weekend of that cold spell that happened 30 years ago next week. There's loads on the net about it but in this age of mild winters it doesn't hurt to reminisce. http://wp..me/p2VSmb-1WA

The far west of Cornwall http://www.turnstone-cottage.co.uk/1987Snow.pdf (I link to this at any excuse, it was probably the snowfall of the century in the far SW, certainly heavier than in 1963.)

Penzance had a maximum temperature of -1.1°C on both the 12th and 13th of January 1987 with a minimum of -9.9°C in between, but most of Cornwall was much colder with maxes between -3 and -6°C.
