I have some memory of the cold spell of early Feb 1999.
In my area London,Wembley,Middx. On the 8th of Feb we had rain which then was followed by sleet
and snow by evening time with the cold front moving southwards the snow setted but there was only
a covering as i recall.
In my log book it says from 9th to the 11th Feb it remained cold and sunny with overnight frosts
with Max temp mainly 4 to 5c and Min of -2c.
