        at 0600 on 16th February 1947 | |||
| 'An anticyclone is persisting over southern Scandinavia 
          with pressure low to the southwest of the British Isles. Weather will 
          continue dull in most districts, with occasional slight snow, but a 
          further period of more continuous snow, mainly slight, will affect the 
          southeast of England during the period. There will be some local fair 
          periods in sheltered western districts. It will continue very cold with 
          frost day and night' At 0600 hours-East to north-easterly airstream 
          with winds to F6 on eastern coasts of England and Ireland. Generally 
          cloudy in eastern areas and over Ireland. Lowest temperature is 21°F 
          (-6.1°C) at Aberporth (W.Wales) and Renfrew-both of which report 
          clear skies.Highest temperature is 42°F (5.6°C) from Valentia 
          and Roches Point in S.Ireland. Overnight minima-lowest value is 15°F 
          (-9.4°C) at Finningley and the highest 39°F(3.9°C) at Valentia 
          and Roches Point. Previous day's maxima-lowest value Little Rissington 
          on 28°F (-2.2°C) and highest Scilly on 44°F (6.7°C) 
          Precipitation-largely dry except for S.Ireland (Roches Point 4mm) Snow 
          cover/depth-snow cover continues as in previous days (but it must be 
          looking rather worn by now). Maximum depth is still 13" at Waddington 
          with Rattray reporting 10" and both Spurn Head and Acklington 8".
