Remarks
-------
Very warm, very dry and very sunny. For my 11-year period of recording
the following new February records were set:

Mean max (highest)
Mean temp (highest)
Highest max (highest - twice)
Lowest grass min (lowest)
Rain days (lowest)
Days with snow falling (lowest)
Total sunshine (highest)
Sunniest day (highest)
Days with no sun (lowest)

The record high mean max was almost entirely due to the anomalously
high day max temps.
