14Th-16Th April 1966

[Terminal Moraine]

Three notably cold and,at times, snowy days occurred in this part of the country in mid-April 1966. Although where I was living at the time was much lower than where I am now the max' temp' on both the 14th and 15th was only 2c and several inches of snow fell later on the 14th and into the 15th. The cold and snow was accompanied by a f4 E wind which caused drifting on the higher ground and there was further lying snow on the 18th above 250mts. It eventually warmed up by the 21st with maxima climbing above 10c for the first time since the 10th.

Maximum temp's of 2c at 160m would imply maxima around 0c at my current location, certainly a noteworthy event so late in the season.
