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.

Thanks, John, could I add that to the blog - memories of the event are
very sketchy, unlike the January 1987 cold spell.

Feel free, so long as you include the caveat. I think the day of the
blizzard was Saturday the 29th, and that the day of the rapid thaw would
actually have been Monday the 31st or Tuesday the 1st, rather than the
day after the blizzard.
