  • oh i see I put about how this must have been a record breaking forecast and I get thumbs down?

  • I remember this very well because I had a Saturday job in a supermarket at the time. The bread lorry came and delivered to us but then couldnt get back up the hill so it was stuck there. People were panic buying so the manager spoke to the bakery and they allowed us to sell all the bread that was left on the lorry!

  • I lived in Kent in 87 and 91 and the snow was remarkable. However I live in the Rocky Mountains now in Canada and as I type the forecast for Monday is -30oC and 5 days of snow. Just a bit colder lol

  • love how they rub the warmth that North America were having first - typical BBC

  • bring back these symbols and map - ban this new crap BBC have made it's shit

  • Minus 10, cry me a river. Try visiting Canada some winter. :)

  • brrrr, that was another cold winter ...thanks for that Uncle Ian

  • @KaMaCaRz Ah yes. Interesting contrast with last December 2010...Mabye February 2011 will be another cold one...We will see.

  • @JollyRodders No, I mean mid-January 1987. It was basically a MORE severe form of the above easterly, although relatively similar in general evolution, nut with colder temperatures (both surface and upper air), stronger winds, and heavier and deeper snow.

    Search: 'thames news. big freeze, january 1987' in the youtube search bar.

  • I think I prefer these graphics compared to what they are using now.

  • @KaMaCaRz "what about January 1987?"

    Do you mean the storm of October 1987 and Michael Fish's There is no hurricane on the way forecast...??

  • Was hoping for his trademark "Hellooo" intro that everyone impersonated!
