Less well known eye popping winter charts

[Weather-history]

Winter charts from the great cold snowy spells, we have become familiar with eg  January 1987, February 1991. So here's a few selection of lesser well known ones 

12th February 1870

Early January 1893

Early January 1894

22nd January 1897, how's that for a NEly 

 

23rd January 1907: monster high brings frigid air

29th December 1908: battleground scenario, the remarkable thing about this set-up is the temperature contrast between the airmasses

25th January 1910

2nd February 1912: a cold spell during a very mild winter overall

20th January 1945: How this for a NWly

January 1894 produced an incredibly cold day at Armagh on the 6th: 24.4/6.3F (-4.2/-14.2C)- note comment "lowest temperature since at least 1843"; if it was that cold in Ireland from an easterly how cold was it in Britain?

The following year's famous winter on 7 Feb 1895 produced an even lower minimum 4.9F (-15.1C), but didn't produce a maximum anywhere near as low as Jan 1894.

26th January 1939

12th February 1970

[Commissioner Gordon]

I do remember the snow on 12th Feb 1970. I was living near Coventry at the time.

The snow on that day was a disappointment I recall. Nothing like the chart suggests. Maybe we were too far north.

A letter by Basil T Rowswell of St Martin's, Guersney

"Systematical meteorological observations have been taken in Guersney during the last 50 years with standard certifed instruments and last Friday's readings broke the record for low temperatures. The mean temperature of that day was 21.9F (-5.6C) which is (excepting Thursday's, the 4th mean) 5.9F lower than the lowest daily mean previously recorded.
.....The coldest day on record previous to this cold snap occurred on February 11th 1870, the daily mean 27.3F (-2.3C)

Not eyepopping but not many if anyone knows about this close but no cigar spell.

This caused chaos on the 13th January 1977

Reports said about 3 inches of snow fell in 1 hour in west  London.

4 to 6 inches fell widely around Greater Manchester

Liverpool Airport was shut for a time

Powers cuts for parts of Yorkshire

March 2, 2005. We had just under a foot of snow that day in north kent. One of the best snow day events in my life. I think it must have been fairly localised as not many remember it.

9th January 1968: Low sliding down gave a big snowfall as cold air turned the rain to snow
