Still no sign of the Sun - 11 1/2 days now.
In parts of the south there were 14 consecutive sunless days from the 14th (to the 28th), in many places setting a new "dullness" record [...]
January 28th. The Sun came out today.
January 29th. Strong, bright sun all day, large white cumuli.
Sunday, January 11, 1987
Some snow on the ground. Bitterly cold.
Exceptionally cold air from an unusually cold Europe... The coldest air reached England on the 11th [...]
January 12th. Very snowy and cold (appropriately for Caradhras). Only 7 people at registration. Down to 10 F last night here (-12.2 C) - that's cold. Looks like more snow on the way.
'For many places this was the coldest day of the century ... the cold air crossing the warm North Sea led to a very high snowfall on the eastern coast'
January 13th. Snowed all day in frightening amounts. 5 people at registration (all time low). Everyone got sent home at 9.45. School's closed tomorrow. Apparently it's Essex's coldest/worst winter since 1947.
'There was more heavy snow on the 13th and 14th.'
January 14th. At home all day, of course. A highly mature snowball fight (enjoyable). Then to the hill for sledging.
January 15th. Still freezing cold. Stayed in my bedroom and kept warm. No school tomorrow either.
January 16th. Sledging downhill and across the ice on the river.
January 19th. Walked to school in 22 minutes (not bad in snow).
'A slow thaw began on the 20th'
