Julian Mayes writes
in it he says that the winter with the lowest
number of days of sleet or snow observed to fall was 1863 with 3.

Very interesting, bhe obvious question is "Where?"

Yes, I wish Manley had specified that. My guess would be St James Park
/ Westminster / Kew. But as my comparison is with Hampstead, the
highest and thus snowiest part of London proper, the decrease is more
stark.

So he did specify that it was in London, did he? Presumably the lowest
number in somewhere like Penzance would have been zero.
