I am indebted to Bruce for flagging this up but I've written a few
lines on this event that happened on this day 65 years ago: 10 inches
of snow in Northolt and sub-zero temps across a large part of southern
England.

Thanks. Assuming that the isotherms are for the sea temperature, it's
noticeable how cold the North Sea was, which must have minimised the
warming of the air passing over it. It's surprising that the sea
temperature was still so low, since the mean CETs of January, February
and March were 2.7, 3.4 and 6.6.

Thanks, John. I was rather hoping you were going to post your own
memories of the blizzard



I was three at the time, and sadly don't have any memory of it at all.
That's in spite of the fact that we apparently moved house from
Cranleigh to Effingham (about 15 miles away) on the day of the blizzard.
According to my father, it snowed all day, but the following day - which
he reckoned was the 1st April - the weather was glorious and all the
snow was gone by noon. I don't think his memory is quite in accordance
with the facts, but of course that's common with memories of past
weather.
