It was Jan 82 rather than Dec 81 that was the most amazing here. Yes, it was cold with about 4 ins of snow in December but it turned mild before Christmas. Snow returned with avengence in early Jan 82 with 12 ins of it in my garden here and a temp of -16C. The most snow and lowest temp I have ever recorded

Everytime I look at the synoptics of December 1981, I'm amazed how cold it turned out. The northerly blocking doesn't look extensive nor intense as it was with December 2010. Just looking at the synoptics, it doesn't look as though it should have turned out that cold.
