29 Nov 10 - With up to four inches of snow forecast for
later this week, Derbyshire has already shivered through what one expert
claims was its coldest November night in 134 years.
Amateur weatherman Philip Singleton, of Chaddesden, said that he
measured the temperature at -12.2C on Saturday night.
"I checked my records and this is the coldest November night in
Derby for 134 years, dating back to 1876, when records began.
"It was also the coldest night in Derby for 25 years, since
January 17, 1985, when the temperature was -12.4 Celsius."

"I bet the heat was on at Kedleston in Derbyshire," says
Bill."Robert Adam did it 1759 [just prior to the Dalton Minimum]....back then
they had big reasons to plan for cold weather." |
