Here are weather reports and forecasts from the Guardian and Observer newspapers during the winter of 1946-47 that I garnered. An amazing spell of weather, the severity of this winter started around 20th January and lasted into the middle of the March 1947. The winter was not without interest before the 20th January. There were snowfalls during the first week of December. The Guardian has a more Manchester orientation to the reporting.
