Britains Deadliest Winter Storm - 1962
#britain

December 1962, Britain slipped into a chill deeper than most could imagine as an eerie calm masked a deadly atmospheric blockade settling overhead. By Boxing Day, unnatural silence turned [music] to chaos. A train slammed into disaster near Coppenhal, killing [music] 18 as temperatures dropped below minus22°.
How could a nation be brought to its knees by the big [music] freeze? The answer begins with a single catastrophic breakdown. A dome of high pressure anchored itself over Scandinavia on December 22, 1962, setting off a chain reaction that would lock Britain in Arctic cold for over 2 months. The Met Office, tracking synoptic charts by hand, watched as Atlantic storms veered north, unable to break through the wall of still air.
