Default Copley coldest since 1981 only

Hi, All,
Just to keep things calm. Full resume to follow when family allows (:
0)
Provisional figures show mean of -0.9C was the coldest December in
this area since 1981 -1.1C at nearby Low Etherley (158m). January 1979
was -1.9C and 1963 would have been much lower.
Mean max 1.6C
Mean min -3.4C
Mean screen -0.9C
Rain 42.1mm (51%)
Sun 83.8hr(175%)
Lead Mill 1.3C / -5.0C / -1.9C

Often warmer here because of inversion and katabatic flows. I think
the key to this spell was the much lower values in the low lying
areas, the hills were milder with snow lying much less. A difficult
month to compare, then, unless a Met O station was on exactly the same
site. Durham University Observatory will be useful here.

Best wishes,
Ken,
Copley, Teesdale
