    High pressure over southern Europe began to ridge into Scandinavia and a cold SEly flow developed over the UK and with low pressure close by many central and northern areas went very quickly from early spring warmth to raging blizzards and drfiting snow

    From Bonacina

    "The easterly gale so disastrous round our coasts, of Saturday, January 11th, which brought such a severe blizzard in the more northern portions of the kingdom with huge drifts, especially in Dumfriesshire, occasion an icy rain in the south of England with the weather of the worst possible description. Walking out on deserted Hampstead Heath that afternoon in a driving fog and a high gale slashing pellets of ice into my face in a heavy gloom unrelieved by the snow which, as I suspected, would be falling a little farther north in the Midlands, it struck me most forcibly as about the most gruesome type of winter day one could well imagine. A rook or two walking about in a sodden field was all the brid life in evidence in such conditions."

    Wouldn't mind seeing that! Moved here about 18 mths ago and have seen at most 3" of snow, whereas in rural Aberdeenshire where I came from we were used to digging ourselves out of deep drifted snow on many occasions in most winters.

    BTW, the last time our place in New Hampshire had 30" of snow in one storm was on Valentine's day in 2007. That one storm produced more snow than the rest of the winter combined.
