According to my weather diary for Merstham,Sy.started as a schoolboy

At 7.30 a.m. Thursday awoke to moderate snow,temp 2c and falling.Snow
lying--milk float unable to make it today.

In The D.Telegraph the following day I believe the weather section had
Cardiff registering a temperature of -1c at lunchtime with snow
falling and
IIRC the temps in the South of England struggled to rise much above
freezing anywhere that day.

The Times has these temps: Belfast 37, Birmingham 36, Bristol 32,
Cardiff 30, Edinburgh 37, London 32, Manchester 36. Northern Europe
suffered too: Amsterdam 39, Berlin 36, Brussels 32, Cologne 39,
Copenhagen 28, Dublin 37, Helsinki 23, Luxembourg 32, Oslo 27, Stockholm
27.

"London has coldest April day since 1911"

Oh dear, I can remember that event. Geology field trip to Forest of Dean
and the Malverns. Heavy wet snow above about 300'-400' gave a covering
of several inches. All rather miserable, damp and cold.
