Several county cricket matches were abandoned due to snow, the most notable were between Essex and Kent at Castle Park, Colchester and between
Derbyshire and Lancashire at Buxton. Strong to gale force winds, occasionally severe on coasts, occurred in Scotland and Northern Ireland with many places reporting gusts in excess of 40 knots.
