Default Lingering Snow

Despite the mini heatwave today, +5.5C, snow is still evident in the
neighbourhood. A 6 feet high pile in the lower park where a giant
snowman was built last week. And over 2 feet of the crud around my water
butts and hibernating plant pots alongside next door's damned conservatory.

At this rate, it'll still be there when next winter's snows start.

And I have a question that needs some clarification. Twice in the last
couple of days, I have heard mention on the radio/TV that this was the
coldest March since 1962. Is that correct, or should it be 1963?

The CET may even have been lower than March 1962. March 1963 ended up much higher. Lots of snow drifts even on the lower ground around south Yorkshire.

1962 is correct. I see you haven't been reading all the other threads.
Though 1962-3 was extremely cold from just before Christmas until the
end of February, March wasn't at all bad.

Guilty as charged. I tend to ignore threads of more than about 10
replies, only because they generally go off on an acute tangent to
elsewhere, and end up as personal bitching matches between the usual
suspects.

And thanks for the clarification.
